That's perfect, thanks.
You need to sort the data in the order that you want it to be evaluated, add an index column starting from zero, then add a new custom column with the following calculation:
try
if [Document Id] = previousStepName[Document Id]{[Index] + 1} then [#"Actual End Date & Time"] else previousStepName[#"Actual Start Date & Time"]{[Index] + 1}
otherwise null
Example working query:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("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", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Document Id" = _t, #"Actual Start Date & Time" = _t, #"Actual End Date & Time" = _t, #"Entity Start Date" = _t]),

This is my data
and I want to apply excel formula IF(Z1=Z2,AC1,AB2) in power BI to get start date in column AE
Used suggested query = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Column IBM / IOCL", "Start Date.1", each if[Document Id1]=[Document Id2]then[#"Actual End Date & Time1"]else[#"Actual Start Date & Time2"]) and it gives error
That's perfect, thanks.

Hi Pete,
I tried the mention below code
= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each
try
if [Document Id] = #"Added Index"[Document Id]{[Index] + 1}
then [Actual End Date of Process]
else #"Added Index"[Actual Start Date of Process]{[Index] + 1}
otherwise null
)in #"Added Custom"
Got this error. Can you please check and help
Hi Dear,
Added the same code
= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each
try
if [Document Id] = #"Added Index"[Document Id]{[Index] + 1}
then [Actual End Date of Process]
else #"Added Index"[Actual Start Date of Process]{[Index] + 1}
otherwise null
in #"Added Custom")
and got error

Hello @KuntalSingh
You can use conditional column option from "Add Column"
