Flag and calculate a rent value once tenant's name is changed

Hello everyone,

I really appreciate your help with this in advance, I have been trying to make it work for ages and failed miserably so far.

 

I have a consolidated data table that receives new entries every time a user modifies a SharePoint List. Within this table, multiple Properties, Buildings, Units and tenants are registered.

Keys:

  • A Property (PropertyN) consists of Building/s, a Building (BuidlingN) consists of rooms or floors (Title - Location) and each location is assigned to a Tenant (TenantN)

Several KPIs are required, one of which is to have a measure or a new column that would allow me to register (Rent value) whenever a Tenant Value is changed from "Vacant" to "Tenant Name" or from a "Tenant Name" to a "New Tenant Name".

 

I have added indexes to group all different category with a single code but not so sure how to put them into a good use.

 

Please view my attached sample data file.

@Calvin69 See my article on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/3395....
The basic pattern is:
Column = 
  VAR __Current = [Value]
  VAR __PreviousDate = MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])

  VAR __Previous = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date]=__PreviousDate),[Value])
RETURN
  __Current - __Previous

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

I really apprecaite your feedback on this.

I have followed your instructions above but it seems that I am still doing somthing wrong:

 

Dax Code

 

PBICOM = 
    VAR Curren = '04ConsolidatedEntries'[Rent]
    VAR PreviousDate = MAXX(
                        FILTER('04ConsolidatedEntries','04ConsolidatedEntries'[StartDate.Element:Text] <
                            EARLIER('04ConsolidatedEntries'[StartDate.Element:Text])), '04ConsolidatedEntries'[StartDate.Element:Text])

    VAR Previous = MAXX(FILTER('04ConsolidatedEntries',[StartDate.Element:Text] = PreviousDate), [Rent])
RETURN
  Curren - Previous

 

Table:

Expected values/behaviour are hilighted within the green column.

 

Thanks
