Create a column with condition based on different columns

Hi all, 
I want to create a formula in DAX, which create a case/ condition as column - status (New, updated,unchanged).
that should compare between today vs yesterday (latest date as of yesterday) and primary key, sales )

@amitchandak  thank you for the code.
if in the above scenario, if I want to find the delta of sales with reference today(the one which I filter) and yesterday (with reference to filtered)- what could you suggest to write in dax.
thank you in advance.

Hi @surajbh ,

The reference could be like this:

Reference = 
VAR _last =
    MAXX (
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            [Date]
                = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) - 1
                && [Primary key] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Primary key] )
        ),
        [Sales]
    )
return
[Sales] - _last

@v-yingjl  thank you for the support. 
if in the above-given scenario, the user has the possibility of filtering or choosing ( two dates- one to another date ), that will determine the status of the primary key. 
How could you write DAX.
thank you in advance for the support.

@surajbh , Try a new column

 

new column =
var _last = maxx(filter(Table, [Date] =earlier([Date])-1 && [primary key] =earlier([primary key])),[sales])
return
Switch(true() ,
isblank(_last) , "New" ,
_last <> [sales] , "Updated"
,"same"
)
