Hi All,

Need small help. I have data like below

AUnique_IDVersion
Murder11
Theft12
dacoity13
Murder21
Murder22

 

I want an output like below:

 

Unique IDPrevious_APresent_A
1TheftDacoity
2MurderMurder

 

Basically if for Unique_ID there is a version. For the last version and before last version if Column "A" is different then I need 2 column to be created Previous_A and Present_A. Previous A will hold the 2nd last version value and Present A will hold the last version value.
