Finding Values if they historically exist

Good Morning, 

 

Not sure how to phrase this so will give it my best shot.

 

Below is a table that shows this vehicle was on hire with lic number 2888 4 times but there was some other lic numbers in the middle. 

 

what im looking to do is somehow identify that thsi has happend and flag the rows in which this happend. 

 

the key here is there must be a "split" in the licence to flag it. 

 

by "flag" this could just be a column with "yes" or "1" or to be honest anything in it.

Hi, @sovereignauto 

May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Measures:

Tag =

VAR _Counts =

    CALCULATE (

        COUNTROWS (

            FILTER (

                'Table',

                'Table'[Licensing Authority] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Licensing Authority] )

            )

        ),

        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Licensing Authority] )

    )

RETURN

    IF ( _Counts > 1, "yes" )

 

If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.

Has Prev = INT(CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('Table (2)'), 
    FILTER(ALL('Table (2)'), 
        'Table (2)'[Licensing Authority] = EARLIER('Table (2)'[Licensing Authority]) && 
        'Table (2)'[Actual Delivery Date] < EARLIER('Table (2)'[Actual Delivery Date])
    )
) > 0)

Hey the above is what i've come up with - the basic idea is to check if the same license has an "actual delivery date" earlier than the current row's, and then return 1 if that's true.
