Hi,
We can use the lookup formula in the same module. The below module contains "Headcount" as dimension. I used the Lookup function to identify the Manager's Geo (screenshot below).
Format of the Manager line item should be "Headcount".
Thanks

@SathyaM answer is a good one. You can certainly use Lookup in the same module (not sure that's the most efficient way though).
I had one follow up question for you though - Did you want the previous "line item", as you wrote? That might be a little harder. Maybe if you shared a mocked-up screenshot we can add more clarity to what you're trying to accomplish.

@SathyaM - Thanks you however my problem is bit different.
@JaredDolich - I want value of previous line item that too from the previous list value.
Kindly see the screen shots i have shared on the below link:
Thank you!

Just an idea.
Could you set up a system module (only dimension is the list you want to pull the previous list item from)?
In that system module create a line item that puts a numeric sequence on the list.
Then create another list using that sequence number as the code. This will serve as a mapping that allows you to find the previous list item.
Not a pretty solution but it should work. You'll also have to decide what happens when you get to the first item in the list, since there isn't a previous on that.
