Display previous incident date for each problem (DAX)

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 NumberDateProblemIndex
INC11/1/2022PRB A1
INC21/2/2022PRB A2
INC31/3/2022PRB A3
INC41/4/2022PRB B1
INC51/5/2022PRB B2
INC61/6/2022PRB B3
INC71/6/2022PRB C1
INC81/7/2022PRB D1

 

Expected Result:

Incident NumberDateProblemIndexPrevious Incident Date
INC11/1/2022PRB A1 
INC21/2/2022PRB A21/1/2022
INC31/3/2022PRB A31/2/2022
INC41/14/2022PRB B1 
INC51/15/2022PRB B21/14/2022
INC61/16/2022PRB B31/15/2022
INC71/16/2022PRB C1 
INC81/17/2022PRB D1 

 

I have found this post but doesnt work for what i need it to do. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have been struggling with this for the past month. Thanks

@LFORS , Create a new column

 

maxx(filter(Table, [problem] = earlier([problem]) && [date] < earlier([Date]) ) , [Date])
