How to show only dimension changes

Hi, 

 

I created below crosstab in Power BI:

 Date
NameJanFebMarch
Janaaa
Kateabb
Olabbb
Tomccc
Mikecca
Elleabc
Annbbb
Tedbaa
Frankccc
Wesbaa

 

 

I want to filter out only employees which changed their team during (at least) last month. Date will be dynamic so I want to avoid typing specific date in formula.

I used this formula (I found it in this forum) but it didnt help. 

Team Changes = 
var _CurrentDate=
max('table'[Date])
var _Currenttime=max('table'[Team])
var _Changes=
      CALCULATE(max('table'[Team]),'team'[Date]<_CurrentDate,ALLEXCEPT('table','table'[Employee]))
return
if(hasonevalue('table'[Employee]),if(not ISBLANK(_Changes)&&_Currenttime<>_Changes,
      _Changes & " to "& _Currenttime
   ))

First step: bring your data into usable format by unpivoting

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8krMU9JRSoTjWJ1oJe/EklSoQBIYgwT9cxB8mFhIfi6QnQzHIDHfzOxUJEGIia45OcgmQlQ65uVhmpiaAuUjnONWlJiXjWFPeGoxqspYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Jan = _t, Feb = _t, March = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Jan", type text}, {"Feb", type text}, {"March", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Name"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",each [Attribute],each "1-" & [Attribute] & "-24",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Attribute"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value",{{"Attribute", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Then you can use Power Query, or the Visual Calculations feature to highlight changes.

Either upgrade to a version that supports Visual Calculations, or implement the logic in Power Query.

Thank you but I don't have the same version of PB as you and cannot open your workbook. I tried create the same formula but cannot use PREVIOUS. 

My data has been already unpivoted, pivot was created as visualization. 

Either upgrade to a version that supports Visual Calculations, or implement the logic in Power Query.
