Hi,

 

Please try this measure:

Measure = 
VAR a =
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Difference] )
            = MINX ( ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Case_Type] ), 'Table'[Difference] ),
        1,
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Difference] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
                'Table'[Case_Type] IN FILTERS ( 'Table'[Case_Type] )
                    && 'Table'[Date] < MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
            )
        )
    )
RETURN
    ( MAX ( 'Table'[Difference] ) - a ) / a

The result shows:

Hi, you should follow this post talking about the same and it has more activity:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Subtracting-the-previous-day-s-value-from-today-s/m-p/97792...

 

I would recommend you to use PREVIOUSDAY dax function to solve the last day of each situation calculation as argument of filter in a CALCULATE.
