hi zebra ,

if you need to bring all the columns into the visual, tweak the code like:

measure = 
VAR _table = FILTER(ALL(data),data[Name]=MAX(data[Name]))
VAR lastprice =
MAXX(
    TOPN(1,_table, data[Updated_At]),
    data[Price]
)
VAR llastprice=
MAXX(
    EXCEPT(
        TOPN(2, _table, data[Updated_At]),
        TOPN(1, _table, data[Updated_At])
    ),      
    data[Price]
)
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    llastprice = BLANK() || lastprice=llastprice, "Unchanged",
    lastprice>llastprice, "Increasing",
    "decreasing"
)
