My thread's title's quite confusing so I'll try to elaborate. I have the following data set


[TABLE="width: 888"]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

and I want to create a flag that would indicate whether employee's business title has been amended over the years<body id="cke_pastebin" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; left: -1000px;">[TABLE="width: 888"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]emp_business_title[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
</body>; that would suggest a promotion for example. So, in the sample pasted I'd like to create a new column where the red highlighted entries would have a flag i.e."Title Changed" or whatever.

The reason why there are multiple entries of the same employee is because there is a quarter effective date which takes a snapshot of the employees count, status etc.

Any thoughts?
