Previous function employee
- 2 years ago
ok i got you
you needed to be partitioned by pperson_bk
step0 :
you need to fix the column functionchangedate to respect the following format :
m-dd-yyyy
step1 : go to power query and change the column functionchangeddate type from text to date
step 3 : in power query sort asc the first column :
step 4 :
sort functionchangeddate column asc
save and apply.
step 5 :
use this measure now :Column =var current_perosn = 'Table (7)'[Person_BK]var current_date = 'Table (7)'[FunctionChangedDate]var datasource =FILTER(all('Table (7)'[FunctionChangedDate],'Table (7)'[FunctionName],'Table (7)'[Person_BK]),'Table (7)'[Person_BK] = current_perosn && 'Table (7)'[FunctionChangedDate] <=current_date&& 'Table (7)'[FunctionChangedDate] <=current_date)returnSELECTCOLUMNS(offset(-1,datasource,ORDERBY('Table (7)'[FunctionChangedDate] , asc ),PARTITIONBY('Table (7)'[Person_BK])),[FunctionName])
Hi,
Just by looking at your formula and table layout, i cannot help you. Share the tables in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file and show the expected result.
Hi Ashish_Mathur ,
Here are the 2 tables:
| Function (table) | Contract History (table) |
| FunctionName | Person_BK |
| Function_Key | FunctionChangeDate |
| Function_Key |
The relation is one (function) to many (contract history).
Expected result: calculated column PreviousFunctionName
| Person_BK | FunctionChangedDate | FunctionName | PreviousFunctionName |
| 555 | 1-12-2020 | function A | null of empty |
| 555 | 1-3-2022 | function B | function A |
| 555 | 1-8-2022 | function C | function B |
| 555 | 17-8-2023 | function D | function C |
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you expected something else I should have handed to you.
Thank you very much. Regards, Elmer

Hi Ashish_Mathur ,
I am afraid that I do not know what you mean.
I have included the pbix file (PowerBI file). I hope that will help.
Thanx and regards, Elmer
