Find the previous action

Hello,

In power bi, I would like a column calculated in dax which puts a 1 on the last action which precedes the auto-close action of the same ID.
The table is called Journal, the time column is time, the column where we find the auto-close is called action.
I put an example of what I want.
Can you help me ?
THANKS

    hi MathieuF 

    try to add a calculated column like:

    Column = 
VAR _LastTime=
    MAXX(
        FILTER(
            data,
            data[name]=EARLIER(data[name])
                &&data[action]<>"auto-close"
        ),
        data[time]
    )
RETURN
    IF(
        [Time]=_LastTime,
        1
    )

    it worked like:

      Hello FreemanZ ,

      Thank you very much, I will test.
      Why does the formula include the name? Knowing that a person can have several IDs at the same time.
      I think that it is rather necessary to insert the notion of ID.

    Hi MathieuF ,

    Please try,

    Auto-close = 
VAR _close_time = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Time]),'Table'[action]="auto-close",ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[ID]))
VAR _result =IF('Table'[Time]=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Time]),'Table'[Time]<_close_time),1)
RETURN
_result

      Hello Anonymous ,

      Thanks a lot for your help.
      Is it possible to have a 1 just on the action which precedes and not all the actions which precede.
      THANKS

    Good morning,
    With the formula below, how to display only one 1; the one just after the auto-close?
    Can anyone help me?

     

    `Auto-close2 =

    VAR _close_time = CALCULATE(MAX('journal'[created_at]),'journal'[action]="auto-close",ALLEXCEPT('journal','journal'[task_id]))
    VAR _result =IF('journal'[created_at]=CALCULATE(MAX('journal'[created_at]),'journal'[created_at]<_close_time,ALLEXCEPT('journal','journal'[task_id])),1)
    RETURN
    _result`


    Thanks in advance.
