Hi all,
Im new to this forum but would love it if someone could help me with a DAX question?
What i am trying to achieve is display the date of the previous incident at a problem level. So in ITIL you can have multiple incidents with the same root cause and they are grouped at a problem level (Many:1). I have created an index in DAX that displays the sequence in which that incident occurs i.e first is 1 second is 2 etc and will reset for each problem.
Data:
| Incident Number | Date | Problem | Index |
| INC1 | 1/1/2022 | PRB A | 1 |
| INC2 | 1/2/2022 | PRB A | 2 |
| INC3 | 1/3/2022 | PRB A | 3 |
| INC4 | 1/4/2022 | PRB B | 1 |
| INC5 | 1/5/2022 | PRB B | 2 |
| INC6 | 1/6/2022 | PRB B | 3 |
| INC7 | 1/6/2022 | PRB C | 1 |
| INC8 | 1/7/2022 | PRB D | 1 |
Expected Result:
| Incident Number | Date | Problem | Index | Previous Incident Date |
| INC1 | 1/1/2022 | PRB A | 1 | |
| INC2 | 1/2/2022 | PRB A | 2 | 1/1/2022 |
| INC3 | 1/3/2022 | PRB A | 3 | 1/2/2022 |
| INC4 | 1/14/2022 | PRB B | 1 | |
| INC5 | 1/15/2022 | PRB B | 2 | 1/14/2022 |
| INC6 | 1/16/2022 | PRB B | 3 | 1/15/2022 |
| INC7 | 1/16/2022 | PRB C | 1 | |
| INC8 | 1/17/2022 | PRB D | 1 |

@LFORS , Create a new column
