    Hi @elaine.novel,

     

    Yes it is possible if you have sequence of code values in your numbered list.

     

    for eg: #1 has a code  001 or PG01              (number or ALPHA Numeric)

                #2 has a code 002 or PG02

                #3 has a code 003 or PG03

     

    These have sequence of code.

     

    So in this case 

    Create a line item and use value function to convert to number

    for example: #1 has a code 001

    Code will always be text so i am converting to number value(code)

     

    Eg: #1 has code PG01

    use right function to get the number position

    right(code, 2) => output will be 01

    Convert to number value(right)

     

    Finally write a condition stating

    if #1 then blank

    else finditem(numbered list, text(value-1))             => it works for Code 001

     

     

    if #1 then blank

    else finditem(numbered list, left(code,2) & text(value-1))    => it works for Code PG01

     

    Thanks,

    If you want to get the previous value of non time modules then there is only one way of doing so which is mapping module

     

    Create a module dimensioned by the list and insert one line item formatted as the same list and then do the mapping. Mapping should be done in such a way that Second item gets mapped to first item

    For example:

    A - Blank

    B - A

    C - B
    D - C

    Once you are done with the mapping then you can use Lookup in your formula to get the previous value of the same list

     

    Hope this helps

    Is there a way i can have it calculated instead of manual mapping. I did the manual mapping and it works fine. but i am finding a way for me not to do the mapping manually.

     

    Thanks again,
