Hi @Anonymous

One thought that occurs to me is to create a powerquery step that is executed before all other power query steps during refresh.

This query step should create the summary of information from the fact table grouped by which ever dimension

At the end of the queries refresh create the same summary of information from the  updated fact table grouped by which ever dimension.

Compare these two tables.

As a start you may keep the first step table same as the current fact data.

Share your thoughts.

Not sure I've got your idea 100%, check

let
    LastWeekData= Table.FromRows({{"John","2017-03-05","billing"},{"Jack","2017-03-05","billing"},{"Jerry","2017-03-05","bench"}},{"empId","date","status"}),
    ThisWeekData= Table.FromRows({{"John","2017-03-12","bench"},{"Jack","2017-03-12","bench"},{"Jerry","2017-03-12","billing"},{"Jessie","2017-03-12","bench"}},{"empId","date","status"}),
    LastWeekWhosBilling = Table.SelectRows(LastWeekData, each [status] = "billing"),
    ThisWeekDataWhosBench = Table.SelectRows(ThisWeekData, each [status] = "bench"),
    requiredData = Table.NestedJoin(ThisWeekDataWhosBench ,{"empId"},LastWeekWhosBilling ,{"empId"},"table",JoinKind.Inner)

in
    requiredData
