Hi @Anonymous 

 

See if this meets your requirement.

Copy the full script to a new blank query.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCsnPTSzJV9JRCktNB5JGJiDCwMgQSBkqxergVGAEUmCAT4UxWAWaEv+idAWIMkMjhE0WhBSBKEuwouCSosTypNSiokqgkFtRaWYJSAWSMhPCykAuM1WKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Category = _t, Aisle = _t, Year = _t, Price = _t]),
    ChType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Aisle", Int64.Type}, {"Year", Int64.Type}, {"Price", Int64.Type}}),
    GroupRows = Table.Group( ChType, {"Name", "Category", "Aisle"}, 
        {
        {
            "t", (x) => Table.AddColumn( Table.Sort(x, {{"Year", Order.Ascending}}), "r", (y) => 
                [
                Current = y[Price],
                YearNeg1 = Table.Sort(x, {{"Year", Order.Ascending}}){[Year = y[Year] - 1]}?[Price]?,
                YearNeg2 = Table.Sort(x, {{"Year", Order.Ascending}}){[Year = y[Year] - 2]}?[Price]?,
                DiffToPrevYear = Current - YearNeg1 ?? "NA",
                DiffToYearBefore = YearNeg1 - YearNeg2 ?? "NA"
                ]
            ), 
            type table [Name = nullable text, Category = nullable text, Aisle = nullable number, Year = nullable number, Price = nullable number,r = nullable record]
        }
        }
    ),
    ExpandTable = Table.ExpandTableColumn(GroupRows, "t", {"Price", "r"}, {"Price", "r"}),
    ExpandRecord = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(ExpandTable, "r", {"DiffToPrevYear", "DiffToYearBefore"}, {"DiffToPrevYear", "DiffToYearBefore"})
in
    ExpandRecord
