I am  trying to do it in dax with date values, but i only have data for weekdays, nothing on weekends. hope it make sense. Anyone can help please and thanks in advance.

Try this, replace source with the table name you have:

Gain / Loss = 
VAR x = 'Historical Data'[DATE]

RETURN

    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Historical Data'[SOURCE),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Historical Data'),
            'Historical Data'[DATE] < x
        )
    )

@SinclairFletche  

using MAX() might work depending on your use case e.g., if you want the most recent date.
 

Hi Ray, okay i get the idea, thank you
Gain / Loss =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Calendar'[Date]),
FILTER(
ALL('Historical Data'[DATE]),
'Historical Data'[DATE] < MAX('Calendar'[Date])
)
)
mhmm, im just getting the same date instead of the previous day
what am i doing wrong?
