Filtering for rows with column value increase only

[vsteinbahs]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to display rows in matrix visual where column values are only going up.  I've tried visual filters, but it won't do the trick.  Do I need to create a new measure for this?  Or perhaps use a different visual?

As shown in the attached screenshot, I want to show rows for Davis and Max only.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi @vsteinbahs ,

We can create a measure and put it in Filter on this visual.

1. Create a calculate column to get the difference with the next day’s value.

increase = 
var _x = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table',EARLIER('Table'[Date])='Table'[Date]+1&&EARLIER('Table'[Student name])='Table'[Student name]))
return
IF(ISBLANK(_x),BLANK(),'Table'[value]-_x)

2. Then we need to create a measure and put it in Filter on this visual.

Measure = 
var _min = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[increase]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Student name]=MAX('Table'[Student name])))
return
_min

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

Hi @v-zhenbw-msft 

I tried to apply the same calculated column to another slightly different table using the same syntax you provided, but it won't populate values.  Any ideas what could be wrong?

@vsteinbahs do you want to show only those students that always have a +ve increase?

Yes sir, that's what needed.
