How to Lookup a value from a field in same table, based on it having an early start date

DAX Calculations
#1

Context: Sales Reps are picking the wrong product when creating renewal Opportunities.

End Goal: Find renewal Opps where ‘Product ID’ and ‘Previous Product ID’ don’t match. Column ‘Renewing correct Product’ (G1 = C1).

Problem: I can’t figure out how to pull in the previous opportunity product. I created an ‘Account ID & Product ID concat’ column and tried to do a lookup off that field on a dynamic table sorted ‘Start Date’ (Newest - Oldest) and ‘Start Date’ < ‘Start Date’.

in my data column ‘Previous product’ is what I’m trying to populate

Addition insight:
Yes multiple renewals is possible (Renewing a renewal)
I don’t care that previous product for ‘type = New Business’ will always be blank because I’ll filter those out

@Mwoody_05,

Give this a go:

Previous Product = 

VAR SelDate = SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Start Date] )

VAR PrevDate =
CALCULATE(
    MAX(Data[Start Date] ),
    Data[Start Date] < SelDate,
    ALLEXCEPT( Data, Data[Opp ID] )
)

VAR PrevProduct =
CALCULATE(
    MAX( Data[Product ID] ),
    Data[Start Date] = PrevDate,
    ALLEXCEPT( Data, Data[Opp ID] )
)

RETURN
PrevProduct
