    try this

    Column =
VAR Index = 'Table'[Index]
VAR Reference = 'Table'[Reference]
VAR PrevKilometers =
    CALCULATE (
        FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Kilometers], TRUE () ),

    How can I adjust your formula to include data also as a criteria ?

    i.e.,compare the values between current timestamp and previous time stamp,say 17-08-2019,10:25 P.M and 17-08-2019,10:30 P.M.

    I have an ID Field and the glucose values,I should be capable of comparing the glucose_value,every now and then to indicate the episodes or spike in glucose level.

    Thanks

      the ID can be the same for multiple dates?
      if yes then the difference in glucose for a given ID should be something like this:

      Column =
VAR __ID = 'Table'[ID]
VAR __DateTime = 'Table'[DateTime]
VAR __PreviousDateTime =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[DateTime] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = __ID && 'Table'[DateTime] < __DateTime)
    )
VAR __PreviousGlucose = 
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Glucose] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = __ID && 'Table'[DateTime] = __PreviousDateTime)
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( __PreviousDateTime ),
        BLANK (),
        'Table'[Glucose] - __PreviousGlucose
    )

        usmanaziz you try to create a measure, the code you posted will only work as a calculated column

    Hello Mr. Stachu,
    I tried the above formula and it returned the incorrect values. All the valules in the column are taking the first value as a reference. Please find the attached image for the reference.
