Good afternoon,
I need to identify the rows that have the same ID, plan A in the later year and a different plan sameperiodlastyear.
Below is an example:
Table A (what I have) is a comprehensive list of all IDs, plans, and dates. I need Table B where I only get the two (if exist) ID where the later date was plan A and a different plan sameperiodlastyear.
I've tried several formulas and can get close but it won't list only the two rows I need per ID (if exist under the above conditions).
Thank you in advance!

Hi @Marvhall ,
Based on my testing, please try the following methods:
1.Create the new column to filter the changed plan.
SamePeriodLastYear =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table A'[Plan]),
FILTER(
'Table A',
('Table A'[ID] = EARLIER('Table A'[ID]) &&
YEAR('Table A'[Date]) = YEAR(EARLIER('Table A'[Date])) - 1 &&
MONTH('Table A'[Date]) = MONTH(EARLIER('Table A'[Date])) && EARLIER('Table A'[Plan]) = "A")
)
)
2.Create the new column to filter the rows.
Plan changed =
var _sameperiod = VALUES('Table A'[SamePeriodLastYear])
var _date = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])
RETURN
IF(
('Table A'[Plan] = "A" && 'Table A'[Date] = DATE(2024, 7 ,1)) || ('Table A'[Plan] IN _sameperiod && 'Table A'[Date] = DATE(2023,7,1)),
1,
0
)
3.Create new table.
Table B = FILTER('Table A', 'Table A'[Plan changed] = 1)
4.Table B is shown below.

Hi @Marvhall, give calculated table a try, and if you encounter any issues, let me know.
create a calculated table:
TableB =
VAR CurrentPeriod =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER('TableA', 'TableA'[Date] = DATE(2024, 7, 1)),
"ID", 'TableA'[ID],
"Plan", 'TableA'[Plan],
"Date", 'TableA'[Date]
)
VAR PreviousPeriod =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER('TableA', 'TableA'[Date] = DATE(2023, 7, 1)),
"ID", 'TableA'[ID],
"Plan", 'TableA'[Plan],
"Date", 'TableA'[Date]
)
RETURN
FILTER(
NATURALINNERJOIN(CurrentPeriod, PreviousPeriod),
CurrentPeriod[Plan] = "A" &&
PreviousPeriod[Plan] <> "A"
)

Thank you. I get the error: The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value. Same issue I ran into before. I tried using sumx or another aggregate but that didn't work either.
