Nested If to compare previous row value

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Can anyone help me with the logic for creating nested IF statement in powerbi to get the output like below?
I have already created an index based on date and time but I don't know how to keep the index in ascending order in the formula in order to avoid comparing values with different dates and time.
Appreciate your help!!


The logic for output.
1 ) If height2 <> height 1 -> than result "D"
2)If height2 = height 1, then compare color, if color2 <> color 1 -> than result "B"
3)If height2 = height1 and color 2 =color1, then compare size, if size2 <> size 1 -> than result "A"
4)If everything are same than "M"

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"))

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.
