    Hi Anonymous 

    go to power query, add an index column, then use the column code below

     

    Column = 
var _last=MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Index]<EARLIER('Table'[Index]) && 'Table'[Column1]<>BLANK()),[Index])
var _date=MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Index]=_last),[Column1])
return 
IF(ISBLANK('Table'[Column1]),_date-'Table'[Index]+_last,'Table'[Column1])

     

    result

In simple words

I wish this measure to return the value 1;

 

Measure 2 = IF(ISBLANK(MAX(CUF[Date])-1),1,0)
 

as the date 07/08/2022 is blank in my date column;
