Hi  @sowmyar ,

 

Seems cant use calculate with Path to get the result you need.

I create another 3 columns to get what you need:

mark = 
var _maxid=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[EmployeeId]),ALL('Table'))
var _min=CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[EmployeeId]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Date]<>EARLIER('Table'[Date])&&'Table'[EmployeeId]=EARLIER('Table'[Supervisor ID])))
Return
_min
Column 2 = 
IF('Table'[mark]<>BLANK(),CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Column]),FILTER('Table','Table'[EmployeeId]=EARLIER('Table'[mark]))))
Column 3 = 
var _len1=LEN('Table'[Column])
var _len2=LEN('Table'[Column 2])
var _res=RIGHT('Table'[Column],_len1-_len2+1)
Return
IF('Table'[Column 2]=BLANK(),'Table'[Column],_res)

And you will see:

I guess column3 is what you need.
