Automatic identification of the most recent date record for further calculations

Dear community, 

 

rigth now I am facing an issue that I am not able to solve by myself. (All data is attached)

 

1. Issue: I would like to calculate the difference between two dates (2019-03-18 and the most recent date). This data input will be updated each month once and imports new dates within a new column (darte of end of most recent month). Now I would like to build a workflow that recognizes the most recent date (2020-08-31) and will then be substracted by the oldest date (2019-03-18). 

2. Issue: I would like to calculate the date between the most recent month and the previous month. In this case (see data output below) this would be 2020-08-31 subtracted by 2020-07-31. Ideally, as described by issue 1, the workflow would recognize the most recent date (column) and the previous month automatically. 

 

-> The results of issue 1 and 2 should be new columns.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @MaxSchG , Sorry for the delay I have downgraded the version of the file and added diff in months as well.
