Hi Anonymous ,
Base data:
Output result:
Try the below steps:
1.Add new column on the base table:
newcolumn = IF('Table'[Location]="Alaska"||'Table'[Location]="Florida","Type1","Type2")rank = RANKX ( FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Product] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Product] ) && 'Table'[Group] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Group] ) && 'Table'[newcolumn] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[newcolumn] ) ), 'Table'[Price], , DESC, DENSE )Then create the below two new table:
Table2 = FILTER ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "Product", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Product] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type1"&&'Table'[rank]<=2 ), "Group", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Group] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type1"&&'Table'[rank]<=2 ), "Location1", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Location] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type1" &&'Table'[rank]<=2), "Price1", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Price] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type1"&&'Table'[rank]<=2), "Rank", 'Table'[rank] ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Product] ) ) )Table 3 = FILTER ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "Product", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Product] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type2" ), "Group", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Group] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type2" ), "Location2", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Location] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type2" ), "Price2", CALCULATE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Price] ), 'Table'[newcolumn] = "Type2" ), "rank", 'Table'[rank] ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Product] ) ) )Then add new column on table2:
location2 = LOOKUPVALUE('Table 3'[Location2],'Table 3'[Product],Table2[Product],'Table 3'[Group],Table2[Group],'Table 3'[rank],Table2[Rank])price2 = LOOKUPVALUE('Table 3'[Price2],'Table 3'[Product],Table2[Product],'Table 3'[Group],Table2[Group],'Table 3'[rank],Table2[Rank])Finally, adjust the order of table 2 below (I deleted the rank in the creation process, so that the table reported an error, and then re-entered the creation statement, the order was automatically adjusted).
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
