Hi

 

I have the below data, and i need a custom column to calculate the previous days value based on the "product" and "NewOrExistingMember" filter. There are multiple Products and also multiple "NewOrExistingMember" selections

 

Previous Days Value.JPG

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

@GT1PowerBi,

 

In DAX you can’t reference the previous row in any way because there is no order to the rows, So fi you need to get previous row, you can create a rank column, and then use LOOKUPVALUE function to get it.

Sample data and DAX for you reference.

Rank =
RANKX (
    FILTER (
        Table1,
        Table1[Group] = EARLIER ( Table1[Group] )
            && Table1[Group2] = EARLIER ( Table1[Group2] )
    ),
    Table1[Amount],
    ,
    ASC
)
PreviousValue =
LOOKUPVALUE (
    Table1[Amount],
    Table1[Group], Table1[Group],
    Table1[Group2], Table1[Group2],
    Table1[Rank], Table1[Rank] - 1
)
