@NPK,

Create the following columns in your table.

Index = COUNTROWS(FILTER(Table1,Table1[Product]=EARLIER(Table1[Product])&&Table1[Month]<=EARLIER(Table1[Month])))
Previous month result = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table1[Result],1),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Product]=EARLIER(Table1[Product]) && Table1[Index]=EARLIER(Table1[Index])-1))
Trend = IF(ISBLANK(Table1[Previous month result]),BLANK(), SWITCH(
                          TRUE(),
                         
                  (Table1[Result]-Table1[Previous month result]) <= 0, UNICHAR(128315),
                   (Table1[Result]-Table1[Previous month result]) >= .010,UNICHAR(9650),
              BLANK()
             ))
