How to tell if column value has changed for use in workflow actions

$

Hello,

I am using Sharepoint 2010 and for one of my Lists, I am using a general list workflow.  What I need to be able to do is determine if a column value has change (say an "Assigned To" field) because I only want to take some action if that particular value has changed.  I want to be able to have a workflow action that would be something like:

If Current Item: Assigned To not equals [OLD VALUE]

I have found some web searches that talk about creating a duplicate list or duplicate (but hidden) column but that doesn't seem to be the way to go.  I have document versioning set but don't if that can be used to help with this.  One possible thought (although I haven't tried it to see if it works) is to create local variables and have the values in the variables be the "old value".  Just not sure if there is a best practices for doing this.

Thanks for any thoughts - Peter
