find 2 latest wages by employee and calculate increase amount

Hi, I have a really tricky calculation for me that I can't resolve. I have a wage table where is all wages of employees. I need to calculate how much have the wage increased. There can be multiple wage increases/employee and it has to be calculated from the two latest agreement.

 

For example Employee.Id 1: Calculate(sum(monthlywage1-monthlywage2) where employee.id = 1 and monthlywage1=latestwage and monthlywage2 =secondlatest wage.

IdEmployee.IdStartdateMonthlyWage
1101.01.20181000
2210.01.20193000
3101.01.20191500
4205.11.20203200
5101.01.20212000
6328.10.20201500
7301.09.20211600

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can create two calculated columns

rank =
RANKX (
    FILTER ( 'Table', [Employee.Id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Employee.Id] ) ),
    [Startdate],
    ,
    ASC,
    DENSE
)
increase amount =
VAR _amount =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[MonthlyWage] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            [Employee.Id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Employee.Id] )
                && [rank]
                    = EARLIER ( 'Table'[rank] ) - 1
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( _amount ), 0, [MonthlyWage] - _amount )

@Anonymous ,


Meausre =
var _max = calculate(Max(Table[Startdate]), allexcept(Table, Table[Employee.ID]))
var _max2 = calculate(MaxX(Filter(Table, Table[Startdate]<_max),Table[Startdate] ), allexcept(Table, Table[Employee.ID]))
return
calculate(sumX(values(Table[employee.id]) , calculate(sum(Table[MonthlyWage]), filter(Table, Table[Startdate]=_max)) -calculate(sum(Table[MonthlyWage]), filter(Table, Table[Startdate]=_max1))))

Hi @amitchandak for some reason the calculation returns incorrect result. for example previous wage has been 1337 and new wage is 3000. The result should be 1663(the difference between current and previous wage) but calculation returns -1337
