EARLIER function dax

Hello!

 

Can someone help me write this correctly? It's about entering a value from an earlier date. I'm trying to do it using "EARLIER" but it doesn't work for me.

Hi  @bjurek ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Calculated Column1 =
MAXX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Shop]=EARLIER('Table'[Shop])&&
    'Table'[Date]<EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])

2. Result:

Hi @bjurek 

Please clarify further the part that says "skip product B". 

Please try

Previous Product =
MAXX (
TOPN (
1,
FILTER (
CALCULATETABLE ( ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Shop] ) ),
'Table'[Date] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
),
'Table'[Date]
),
'Table'[Product]
)
