    Hi AnaAlbano ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) My test data is the same as yours.

    (2) We can create a measure. 

    Measure = 
var _a=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Status]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Employee ID]=MAX('Table'[Employee ID]) && YEAR(MAX('Table'[Report_date]))=YEAR(EOMONTH('Table'[Report_date],1)) && MONTH(MAX('Table'[Report_date]))=MONTH(EOMONTH('Table'[Report_date],1))))
return IF(ISBLANK(_a),BLANK(),IF(_a=MAX('Table'[Status]),"No change","Change"))

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

     

    Best Regards,

Thank you Anonymous! I tried that and it partially worked, my problem is to aggregate to show by BU, for exemple. Do you think it could be possible to have as a flag column in the table instead of a measure?

    Hi AnaAlbano ,

     

    You can create a flag column.

    Flag Column = 

var _a=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Status]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Employee ID]=MAX('Table'[Employee ID]) && YEAR('Table'[Report_date])=YEAR(EOMONTH(EARLIER('Table'[Report_date]),-1)) && MONTH('Table'[Report_date])=MONTH(EOMONTH(EARLIER('Table'[Report_date]),-1))))
return IF(ISBLANK(_a),BLANK(),IF(_a='Table'[Status],"No change","Change"))

    Best Regards,

      Thank you Anonymous for your hard working to help me! It did work as a column. However, the issue is that the objective is to represent the change from a month to another and in this formula, when the status changes, the flag keeps informing "change". For instance, in June/21, we want to show all status changes from May/21 and not carry the changes that happened in other months.

      I tried to upload pbix, but it I cannot see this option. This is my real tabel with fake MyAccess ID:

      Formula:

       

      Flag Column =

      VAR _a=CALCULATE(MAX(Dashboard_HHC[Employee status]),FILTER('Dashboard_HHC',Dashboard_HHC[MyAccess ID]=MAX(Dashboard_HHC[MyAccess ID]) && YEAR(Dashboard_HHC[Report Date_Format])=YEAR(EOMONTH(EARLIER(Dashboard_HHC[Report Date_Format]),-1)) && MONTH(Dashboard_HHC[Report Date_Format])=MONTH(EOMONTH(EARLIER(Dashboard_HHC[Report Date_Format]),-1))))
      RETURN IF(ISBLANK(_a),BLANK(),IF(_a=Dashboard_HHC[Employee status],"No change","Change"))
