Top and top -1 values of list dynamically

[Powerbi_User10]

Hello all,

I have a list of persons that have a score and a date of that score. Now I want to create a table in powerbi desktop with a bunch of things including their latest score and the score they have gotten before that dynamically.

I have this sample set:

Maya	9/21/2022	5.4
Robbert	9/20/2022	5
Vince	9/20/2022	3.4
Vince	3/12/2021	3.6
Vince	6/5/2022	3.7
Robbert	9/12/2022	2.9
Robbert	5/5/2021	5.6
Lisa	6/12/2022	9.9
Vince	7/12/2022	19.2
Lisa	8/20/2022	2.1

The result i would want to be like this:

Maya	Department 1	Address	5.4	NULL/EMPTY/0
Robbert	Department 2	Address	5	2.9
Vince	Department 2	Address	19.2	3.4
Lisa	Department 3	Address	2.1	9.9

I've looked into ranking etc, but i can't quite figure out how to do it in this specific context also because I want to put it in a table with other info.
When new data is added in the sample set i'd like it to automatically still pick the " top" and " top -1" value in the table.

If any more info is req let me know!

Thx!

Use these measures:

Score on last date =
VAR _LastDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( fTable[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( fTable, fTable[Employee] ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( fTable[Score] ),
        FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( fTable, fTable[Employee] ), fTable[Date] = _LastDate )
    )

Score on last date -1 =
VAR _LastDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( fTable[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( fTable, fTable[Employee] ) )
VAR _PrevDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( fTable[Date] ),
        FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( fTable, fTable[Employee] ), fTable[Date] < _LastDate )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( fTable[Score] ),
        FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( fTable, fTable[Employee] ), fTable[Date] = _PrevDate )
    )

Hi,

There is no Depatment and Address in your sample table. How did you get that?

Do you have that data in same table?

Thanks

Hey, the department etc is just an example of other info in my table. the measure is only about the last scores that i want to " append" to my existing table in powerbi. The data model is set up so there is a relationship between an employee and a score so it can get a score per employee. But i want the last and second to last score per employee based on the lastest date of the score if that makes sense.
