Getting the Previous Values using peek() or previous()

Hi Experts.

I need your help in the following.

Data : 

PdateContryDEPTPLACEVALUE
1-Jan-21INDIAAABBGET
5-Jan-21INDIAAABBBUY
10-Jan-21INDIAAABBBUY

 

Output :

P_dateContryDEPTPLACEVALUEGet_date
5-Jan-21INDIAAABBBUY1-Jan-21
10-Jan-21INDIAAABBBUY1-Jan-21

 

In this case, whenever we have a column whose value is "BUY" then it has to search if there is a Value "GET" previously and insert the p_date in the new column. so for each BUY we need to get the previous "Get" date.

In the load script.

Please help.

@Bansal_Kumar  may be this

map_get_date:
mapping LOAD Distinct Contry & DEPT & PLACE as Key,
     Pdate
FROM Table
where VALUE ='GET';

Final:
LOAD *,
     applymap('map_get_date',Contry & DEPT & PLACE,'NA') as get_date
FROM Table
where VALUE ='BUY';
