DAX expression for progression of program year over year

[robertrund318]

I need an expression that will return a quantity of people that have progressed from one program to the next program year over year.

For example, I have 5 people from Program 1 in 2019 that stayed in Program 1 in 2020 and 10 people that progressed to Program 2.  I have 11 people that stayed in Program 2 from 2019 and 15 that progressed to program 3.  I need the expression that will get the number of people that "Progressed to the Next Program" 

I've tried a few different things and can get the number of people that stayed in the same program, but not the progression.

Program	Program 1 2020	Program 2 2020	Program 3 2020	Program 4 2020	Progressed to Next Program
Program 1 2019	5	10			10
Program 2 2019		11	15		15
Program 3 2019			16	18	18
Program 4 2019				6

Thanks.

Is that your source data or expected output?

This is example data.  The expected output would be the last column based on the data in the previous columns.

@robertrund318 , there is no data in last reply

@amitchandakSorry, I was referring back to the original post and the data there.  I was answering the previous question by @Greg_Deckler 

The "Progressed to Next Program" is the column I am trying to come up with an expression for using the data in the previous columns.

Program	Program 1 2020	Program 2 2020	Program 3 2020	Program 4 2020	Progressed to Next Program
Program 1 2019	5	10			10
Program 2 2019		11	15		15
Program 3 2019			16	18	18
Program 4 2019				6

Well, you could brute force it:

Progressed =
SWITCH(
[Program],
"Program 1 2019",[Program 2 2020],
"Program 2 2019",[Program 3 2020],
"Program 3 2019",[Program 4 2020],
BLANK()
)

Not the most elegant approach, but it did solve the problem.
