How to do in Power BI ?

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Naveennegi119,
One more way to do it.
1. Add a Index column in Query Editor.
2. Add Below formula in a Calculated column.
Inc/Dec =
VAR PervValue =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Table2[Value] ),
FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Index] = EARLIER ( Table2[Index] ) - 1 )
)
VAR prevID =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Table2[ID] ),
FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Index] = EARLIER ( Table2[Index] ) - 1 )
)
VAR PerValueRev =
IF ( LEFT ( Table2[ID], 3 ) <> LEFT ( Table2[prevID], 3 ), BLANK (), PervValue )
RETURN
IF (
PerValueRev = BLANK (),
BLANK (),
IF ( Table2[Value] > PerValueRev, "increase", "decrease" )
)
Thanks,
Rahul
First add an index colum from Query Editor
Then you can use this column
Column =
VAR previousvalue =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Table1[Value] ),
FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[ID] ), [Index] = EARLIER ( [Index] ) - 1 )
)
RETURN
IF (
previousvalue <> BLANK (),
IF ( [Value] > previousvalue, "Increase", "decrease" )
)

HI @RahulYadav@Zubair_Muhammad,
It's very much complicated, I am changing(ID column) data
| ID | Value | increase / decrease | How to do it in powerbi | Formula use in Excel |
| Nick | 134 | |||
| Zubair | 124 | decrease | ? | IF(B3>=B2,"increase","decrease") |
| Rahul | 109 | decrease | ? | IF(B4>=B3,"increase","decrease") |
| Nick | 128 | |||
| Zubair | 113 | decrease | ? | IF(B6>=B5,"increase","decrease") |
| Rahul | 135 | increase | ? | IF(B7>=B6,"increase","decrease") |
| Nick | 135 | |||

Thanks for giving ur time.
I will try ur solution some other data.
Best regards,

Hi @RahulYadav@Zubair_Muhammad
Previous data is wrong
work this data

| Rahul | 110 | decrease | ? | IF(B9>=B8,"increase","decrease") |
| Rahul | 141 | increase | ? | IF(B10>=B9,"increase","decrease") |
Sorry from side
Try this calculated column
Column =
VAR UniqueKey =
LEFT ( [ID], 3 )
VAR myindex =
VALUE ( RIGHT ( [ID], 1 ) )
VAR previousvalue =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Table1[Value] ),
FILTER (
Table1,
LEFT ( [ID], 3 ) = UniqueKey
&& VALUE ( RIGHT ( [ID], 1 ) )
= myindex - 1
)
)
RETURN
IF (
previousvalue <> BLANK (),
IF ( [Value] > previousvalue, "Increase", "decrease" )
)
