    char23 Yes, I would modify it as follows:

    Deleted Previous Tasks =

VAR _id = 'Table'[Id]
VAR _entry = 'Table'[Entry]
VAR _minEntry = MINX( ALL( 'Table' ), [Entry] )
VAR _table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Entry] = _entry - 1), "_id", 'Table'[Id])
VAR _result =
    SWITCH( TRUE(),
    _entry > 2 || _entry = _minEntry, BLANK(),
    _id IN _table, BLANK(),
    "Deleted"
    )
RETURN
_result

char23 Try:

Deleted IDs (column) = 
  VAR __ID = [ID]
  VAR __Entry = [Entry]
  VAR __Table = SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', [Entry] = __Entry - 1 ), "__ID", [ID] )
  VAR __Result =
    SWITCH( TRUE(),
      __Entry = 3, BLANK(),
      __Entry IN __Table, BLANK(),
      "Deleted"
    )
RETURN
  __Result

    Thank you for the help. I tried this method, and I am now getting an error. "Function 'CONTAINSROW' does not support comparing values of type Text with values of type Integer. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values." This is what I have below:

     

    VAR _id = 'Table'[Id]
    VAR _entry = 'Table'[Entry]
    VAR _table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Entry] = _entry - 1), "_id", 'Table'[Id])
    VAR _result =
        SWITCH( TRUE(),
        _entry > 2, BLANK(),
        _entry IN _table, BLANK(),
        "Deleted"
        )
    RETURN
    _result

      char23 Sorry, messed that up slightly:

      VAR _id = 'Table'[Id]
VAR _entry = 'Table'[Entry]
VAR _table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Entry] = _entry - 1), "_id", 'Table'[Id])
VAR _result =
    SWITCH( TRUE(),
    _entry > 2, BLANK(),
    _id IN _table, BLANK(),
    "Deleted"
    )
RETURN
_result

        Thank you! This almost does what I want it to do. But now, it just lists "Deleted" for all rows with entry 1. I want to label those with entry 2 as deleted if not found in one. Could it be something with the _result variable? Should I change one of the conditions? Below is what I have now. 

         

        Deleted Previous Tasks =

        VAR _id = 'Table'[Id]
        VAR _entry = 'Table'[Entry]
        VAR _table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Entry] = _entry - 1), "_id", 'Table'[Id])
        VAR _result =
            SWITCH( TRUE(),
            _entry > 2, BLANK(),
            _id IN _table, BLANK(),
            "Deleted"
            )
        RETURN
        _result
