Guys,
I guess is a very simple question, the biggest problem is how to ask the question I guess. I have a table with articles and price; nevertheless the customer for whatever reason, have values that make no sense; this table for instance:
| Item | Cost |
| Cereal | 250 |
| Cereal | 220 |
| Cereal | 320 |
| Cereal | 240 |
| Cereal | 300 |
| Cereal | 20 |
I have to get the lowest price (in this table 20), but in this case this one seems to be wrong. So I would like to stablish a theshold, for instance 20%. That means that if the cost value is less than average minus 20% this should be a mistake and I should take the lowest price over the threshold (in this instance 220 since the average minus 20% is 180). So I should not take into account the wrong value; how to do so?
Thanks a lot, regards,
Abelardo

something along these lines?
1. Sort the data by Item and cost i.e., Add an index column based on the item
2. Calculate the previous value
