Need previous data if it is different from the last data

[india2016]

Hi All,

Need small help. I have data like below

A	Unique_ID	Version
Murder	1	1
Theft	1	2
dacoity	1	3
Murder	2	1
Murder	2	2

I want an output like below:

Unique ID	Previous_A	Present_A
1	Theft	Dacoity
2	Murder	Murder

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.
