Find next value by date
Hi all,
I have created an index for a table of opportunities which have an associated date for each entry. I have, then, concatenated the index with the dates (format: YYmmdd) to create my IndexDate column. I would like to find the next IndexDate within the same opportunity (index) and if there is no later entries for a certain opportunity I would like to fill in with the same IndexDate. My desired output is shown in column named NextIndexDate. Is there anyway to do this?
| Index | Date | IndexDate | NextIndexDate |
| 1 | 20/07/2018 | 1180720 | 1180730 |
| 1 | 30/07/2018 | 1180730 | 1180806 |
| 1 | 06/08/2018 | 1180806 | 1180807 |
| 1 | 07/08/2018 | 1180807 | 1180807 |
| 2 | 07/05/2018 | 2180507 | 2180620 |
| 2 | 20/06/2018 | 2180620 | 2180715 |
| 2 | 15/07/2018 | 2180715 | 2180715 |
Best regards,

Try with following
Column = VAR temp = TOPN ( 1, FILTER ( Table1, [Index] = EARLIER ( [Index] ) && [Date] > EARLIER ( [Date] ) ), [Date], ASC ) VAR result = MINX ( temp, [IndexDate] ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( result ), [IndexDate], result )

Thanks for that, it worked perfectly! I just had the filter because it was messing with my index column in relation to original Opportunity ID. They weren't matching to same opportunity ID. As below:
NextIndexDate = VAR temp = TOPN ( 1, FILTER ( Table1, [Index] = EARLIER ( [Index] ) && [Date] > EARLIER ( [Date] ) && [OpportunityID] = [OpportunityID]), [Date], ASC ) VAR result = MINX ( temp, [IndexDate] ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( result ), [IndexDate], result )Best regards,
Antonio
