Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help with this issue I've been struggling with. I'm trying to build a table in PowerBI desktop that shows inflation figures and then a calculated column, which shows a value based on the annual inflation figure - see table below.
I've built the first 3 columns with no problem, but struggling with the Earnings Value column.
The starting figure is £37.45 and that is fixed, but the other values from row 2 onwards have the inflation figure applied to it. I've tried several formulas, but cannot work out how to calculate the year-on-year increase to replicate the Earnings Value column.
Can anyone help?

Thanks @Tahreem24 , but I require a calculated column, as it will be referenced by other data sets in the work flow.
@Saes For calculated column you need to replace MAX with Earlier and remove ALL.
Thanks @Tahreem24 , apologies, I think there may be some confusion. It's the Earnings Value column that I'm trying to replicate, rather than creating another column.
@Saes Yeah, I created Earning Value column and put only single value of 37.45 for first year manually. Then created that DAX on top of it. Attaching screen shot for your reference.
Thanks @Tahreem24 for clarifying. Is the calculated column reliant on having the Earning Value column already in place? The column I require is to calculate the Earning Value rather than duplicating an existing column.
i.e. I know the dates, inflation figures and that the 1998 figure is $37.45 only. I need to be able to calculate the remaining figures based on this. Apologies if I've misunderstood or my post was not clear.
