Hi,

 

I have a table, where each line represents a day of information for a given product.

I would like to know how to create an IF that compares the lines.

 

Exemple:

 

dateprodidprodnamestatus
01/01/2021111xpto0
02/01/202111xpto1

 

IF prodid from line 2 is different from line 1 = "status has changed"

 

Is it possible to do that?

Look at the LAG and DIF function.
Depending on what you're doing a BY and FIRST/LAST may also be useful.
