Hi, @Anonymous
Based on your desription, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end,
Table:
You may create a custom column in Power Query with the following m codes.
=let
cdate=[Date],
cvalue=[Value],
lastval=try Table.Max( Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each [Date]<cdate),"Date")[Value] otherwise 0
in
if cvalue<lastval
then "-ve"
else if cvalue=lastval
then "=ve"
else if cvalue>lastval
then "+ve"
else ""
Best Regards
Allan
