Hi Anonymous ,

 

We can use the following steps to meet your requirement.

 

1. Create an index column in Power Query Editor.

 

 

2. Then we can create two calculated column.

 

Column = 
VAR x =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Compl OP Qty] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Index]
                = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) - 1
                && 'Table'[OrderID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[OrderID] )
        )
    )
VAR y =
    IF ( ISBLANK ( x ), 0, x )
RETURN
    IF (
        'Table'[Compl OP Qty] = y,
        'Table'[Compl OP Qty],
        IF (
            'Table'[Compl OP Qty] < y,
            'Table'[Compl OP Qty],
            IF ( y = 0, 'Table'[Compl OP Qty], y )
        )
)

 

Column 2 = 
VAR x =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Column] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Index]
                = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) - 1
                && 'Table'[OrderID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[OrderID] )
       )
    )
var y = IF(ISBLANK(x),'Table'[Column],x)
return
ABS('Table'[Column]-y)

 

The result like this,

 

 

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.

 

Best regards,

Hello,

 

This looks perfect. Thank you for the assistance. I am still receiving issues. When attempting to add custom column, I receive an error after copying and pasting the provided formula. The error reads "Token Eof expected" .
