Hi 11097486 ,

You can create a calculated column like this:

Re = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date1] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date1] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date1] ) && 'Table'[Column1] = BLANK () ) )

Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

Hi, Can you please help me with a similar query:

I have a table in which I have a product key, date filter, stages, and cost to it. The stages change from one to other at certain dates and not all dates. What I want to do is populate the last nonblank value of a stage for a given product key(given the sorting of Date is Ascending for each Product key). So my table looks like this:

Product Key	Date	Stage	Cost
xyz	1/8/2020	borrow	10
xyz	1/9/2020		10
xyz	1/10/2020	paid	10
xyz	1/11/2020		10
xyz	1/12/2020		10
xyz	1/13/2020		10
abc	1/9/2020	borrow	12.5
abc	1/10/2020		12.5
abc	1/11/2020	unpaid	12.5
abc	1/12/2020		12.5
abc	1/13/2020	paid	12.5

What i want is to update the previous stage for each product key(based on the fact that the date is ascending order), please note that the stages are simplified here, they can be as many as 10-12 different stages. Result table should be like:

Product Key	Date	Stage	Cost
xyz	1/8/2020	borrow	10
xyz	1/9/2020	borrow	10
xyz	1/10/2020	paid	10
xyz	1/11/2020	paid	10
xyz	1/12/2020	paid	10
xyz	1/13/2020	paid	10
abc	1/9/2020	borrow	12.5
abc	1/10/2020	borrow	12.5
abc	1/11/2020	unpaid	12.5
abc	1/12/2020	unpaid	12.5
abc	1/13/2020	paid	12.5
