How to get a dates populate based on prevous row without using index
I have a table as below:
Start date | end date | name | alias |
01/01/2022 | 01/01/2024 | raj | bhutan
05/01/2022 | 01/01/2024 | rem | india
I need to update the first row enddate column based on second row startdate.
As the dates successive dates are inclusive.

Can you please provide a solution using powerquery?
Hi raveenraveen ,
You can use the following code to implement the requirement.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQ31DcyMDJS0lEqSswCkkkZpSWJeUqxOtFKpkhyqblAMjMvJTMRLAUS1jfTNwcKGpanAMmU8kKl2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Start date" = _t, name = _t, alias = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Start date", type date}, {"name", type text}, {"alias", type text}}), test = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"Start date", Order.Ascending}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(test, "Custom", (x)=> try List.Select(test[Start date],(y)=>y>x[Start date]){0} otherwise null ), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Custom", type date}}) , {"Custom",(x)=> Date.AddDays(x,-1) } ), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type1",{{"Custom", "End date"}}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"Start date", "End date", "name", "alias"}) in #"Reordered Columns"Then the result is as follows.

Hi raveenraveen ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1)We can create a calculated column.
End date = var a=CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Start date] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Start date]> EARLIER ( 'Table'[Start date]) ) ) return IF(a<>BLANK(),a-1,BLANK())(2)Then the result is as follows.
If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
