You can't do that using a Formula field, but you could just make that Activity field visibile on the Activities Related list section on the Account Layout.

My idea is store the date field value from activity in account. and use this field value in report.

Hi Somasundaram,

To create Report with Activities field and Account, we have an option called Activities with Account in select report types; there you will have both account fields and activity fields.
