    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Please refer to my .pbix file.

    I'm not sure if you want calculated column or measure, so both are created.

    In addition, [__Maganer] is a necessary condition for calculation. Although you don't need it, the final result can not be obtained without it.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Create a calculated column like this.

Column = 
VAR x =  
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Sheet3[ Name Manager]),
    FILTER(
        Sheet3,
        Sheet3[ID] = EARLIER(Sheet3[ID]) + 1 && MOD( EARLIER(Sheet3[ID]), 2 ) <> 0
    )
)
VAR y = 
IF(
    x = BLANK(),
    " ", x
)
RETURN
IF(
    CONTAINSSTRING(Sheet3[ Name Manager],y),
    Sheet3[ID]+1, BLANK()
)
