    Hi MartynasBI 

    You can create the following two calculated column

    date_diff =
    VAR a =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            'Table',
            "year", CONVERT ( LEFT ( [period], 4 ), INTEGER ),
            "Quarter", CONVERT ( RIGHT ( [period], 1 ), INTEGER )
        )
    VAR b =
        MAXX (
            FILTER (
                a,
                [conpany_id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[conpany_id] )
                    && [year]
                        = CONVERT ( LEFT ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[period] ), 4 ), INTEGER ) - 1
                    && [Quarter] = CONVERT ( RIGHT ( EARLIER ( [period] ), 1 ), INTEGER )
            ),
            [report_issue_date ]
        )
    RETURN
        DATEDIFF ( b, [report_issue_date ], DAY )
    
    days_diff =
    VAR a =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            'Table',
            "year", CONVERT ( LEFT ( [period], 4 ), INTEGER ),
            "Quarter", CONVERT ( RIGHT ( [period], 1 ), INTEGER )
        )
    VAR b =
        MAXX (
            FILTER (
                a,
                [conpany_id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[conpany_id] )
                    && [year]
                        = CONVERT ( LEFT ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[period] ), 4 ), INTEGER ) - 1
                    && [Quarter] = CONVERT ( RIGHT ( EARLIER ( [period] ), 1 ), INTEGER )
            ),
            [report_issue_day]
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( b <> BLANK (), [report_issue_day] - b )
    

    Output
