    Hi Anonymous ,

    The following is a measure I created. And you can reference  it to have a try.

    Measure = 
var mi = MAX(Table1[Index])
var hei = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[HEIGHT]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[DATE]),Table1[Index] = mi -1))
var col = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[COLOR]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[DATE]),Table1[Index] = mi -1))
var size = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[SIZE]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[DATE]),Table1[Index] = mi -1))
return 
IF(mi -1 = 0,BLANK(),IF(MAX(Table1[HEIGHT]) = hei , IF(MAX(Table1[COLOR]) = col, IF(MAX(Table1[SIZE]) = size, "M","A"),"B"),"D"))

    Best Regards,

    Xue Ding

New to dax and thought I would help you out. This formula is super long and I'm sure there is an easier and simplified way to write this formula but this got the results that you want.

 

Create a new calculated column with this following logic:

 

Column = IF(Sheet1[Index]=1,"", if(CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Height]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1)))<>Sheet1[Height], "D",if(and(CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Height]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1)))=Sheet1[Height],LOOKUPVALUE(Sheet1[Color],Sheet1[Index],CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Index]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1))))<>Sheet1[Color]),"B",if(CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Height]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1)))=Sheet1[Height] && LOOKUPVALUE(Sheet1[Color],Sheet1[Index],CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Index]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1))))=Sheet1[Color] && LOOKUPVALUE(Sheet1[Size],Sheet1[Index],CALCULATE(max(Sheet1[Index]),filter(Sheet1,Sheet1[Index]<earlier(Sheet1[Index],1))))<>Sheet1[Size],"A","M"))))
 
 
 
Would love someone else to clean it up and teach me how to do it more efficiently! Hope this works.
