    Hi Ashish_Mathur ,

     

    Still working out the use case for the visual calculations but since it's based on the line values and is not like excel exactly I have created the following calculations:

    Previous Year (support) = NEXT([Year]) 
    
    Previous Year = IF([Previous Year (support)] = [Year],NEXT( [Previous Year (support)]), [Previous Year (support)])
    
    Value = 
    IF(
       ISINSCOPE([Work]),
          LOOKUP([Sum of Amoount], [Work], [Work], [Year], [Previous Year]) , 
          LOOKUP([Sum of Amoount], [Year], [Previous Year])
     )

     

    Then hide the Previous Year columns

     

     

     

    Hope this helps you get started, has I said still trying some things and we can do more complex calculations for sure but this simple approach works.
