Create new conditional column

Hello, can someone please help me with DAX?

I want to create a fourth column called "Satatus" where I indicate if the "ID", "Year", "activity" had the same activity. Then the result in the new column "Status" would say: Same, Changed, None

Thanks a lot!! Rosario Pineda.

you can try this

Column = 
VAR _a=maxx(FILTER('Table','Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])&&'Table'[Year]<>EARLIER('Table'[Year])&&'Table'[Activity]=EARLIER('Table'[Activity])),'Table'[Activity])
return if('Table'[Activity]="","Ninguna",if(_a="","Cambiaron","Misma"))

Not sure this is what you mean, but please try this column expression. Replace Activities with your actual table name.

 

NewColumn =
VAR thisactivity = Activities[Activity]
VAR thisyear = Activities[Year]
VAR PYactivities =
CALCULATETABLE (
DISTINCT ( Activities[Activity] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( Activities, Activities[ID] ),
Activities[Year] = thisyear - 1
)
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISEMPTY ( PYactivities ), "None",
thisactivity IN PYactivities, "Same",
"Change"
)
