Hello Yadong,

 

We are trying to apply this to our model. Could you please explain what EARLIER does?

    Hi mlmchilli ，

     

    EARLIER returns the current value of the specified column in an outer evaluation pass of the mentioned column.

     

    EARLIER is useful for nested calculations where you want to use a certain value as an input and produce calculations based on that input. In Microsoft Excel, you can do such calculations only within the context of the current row; however, in DAX you can store the value of the input and then make calculation using data from the entire table.

     

    EARLIER is mostly used in the context of calculated columns.

     

    Please refer to:EARLIER function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

     

    Best regards,

    Yadong Fang
