Hello, I hve two columns in the same table, onde of them is the index one, I want to reference the id number of that index, for example:
ID INDEX
8027890 1
9809887 2
2938878 3
What I need is to find out if an ID was entered twice, so I need
If the ((ID of index 1)-(ID of index -1))=0, "SAME ID", "DIFFERENT ID"
How do I make this reference tho?
Thank a lot!!

Hi, @pagliaci
According to your description, I can clearly understand your requirement, you can try to create a calculated column like this:
Column =
var _lastID=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[ID]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[INDEX]=EARLIER('Table'[INDEX])-1))
return
IF([ID]=_lastID,"SAME ID","DIFFERENT ID")
And you can get what you want, like this:
You can download my test pbix file below
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Calculated Column:
Duplicate? =
VAR MyID = 'Table'[ID]
VAR MyIDCount =
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = MyID ) )
RETURN
IF ( MyIDCount > 1, "Duplicate" )
