reference Previous row using measures.

Hi,

 

I have to implement below SSRS condition in power Bi using Measures only.

Note: We have limitations we can't create any index column here so i need solution using measures only.

Source : Tabular model

Output column =IIF((Previous(Fields!Group_ID.Value) = Fields!Group_ID.Value),Nothing,Fields!Group_ID.Value)

Hi @Anonymous 

Can you create data samples, one with data set that you are working on, and second with the desired outcome.

Hi @Anonymous 

I'm very sorry but its very hard to understand you requirement, are you looking to return distinct Values?

Is your output to be presented in a visual or ist just a table?

Are you going to use as a part of calculation?

i need use this in table visual.

 

Requirement is not to calculate distinct values, it is like you have to check current row and previous row if both matching then replace id with blank.

 

 

Id |Name| 

1 |  abc

2 | pqr

1 | abc

 

for above example output should be same as input there is no consecutive same values.

take another example

 

Id |Name| 

1 |  abc

1 | abc

2 | abc

 

output is 

Id |Name| 

1 |  abc

   | abc

2 | abc

 

here we are replacing second row's id values with blank.

 

 

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Sorry but I don't think this can be achieved in power bi at the moment.

When adding column or columns to a visual it will perform a group by ( select a distinct combination of column values ) and measures can only aggregate so the below outcome is impasibe.

Id |Name| 

1 | abc

   | abc

2 | abc
