Time difference between adjacent rows

OK - so I'm trying to do something with a table in PowerBI that I hope will be easier than trying in Excel!

 

I have a table which contains meeting start and end datetimes for a number of rooms.

 

What I need to determine is the time difference between the end of one meeting and the start of the next one in the SAME room on the SAME day

 

I have loaded the tables and am using a slicer to filter based on the room ID so I can see all data relating to a specific room but I'm not sure how to write the DAX to calculate the different that I want.

 

Can someone advise please if this is possible and if so how?

 

-Dave

  • Try with "," per ";"

     

    They are calculated columns and try with this code better:

     

    Dif = 
    var DStart=DIFDates[origStartDate]
    var DEnd=DIFDates[origEndDate]
    var Room=DIFDates[ROOM]
    var DBefore=CALCULATE(MAX(DIFDates[origEndDate]);FILTER(DIFDates;DIFDates[ROOM]=Room && DIFDates[origEndDate]<=DStart && DIFDates[origStartDate].[Day]=DIFDates[origEndDate].[Day] && DIFDates[origStartDate].[Month]=DIFDates[origEndDate].[Month] && DIFDates[origStartDate].[Year]=DIFDates[origEndDate].[Year]))
    return
    DATEDIFF(DBefore;DIFDates[origStartDate];MINUTE)/60

  • Hi Anonymous , maybe it helps you:

     

    Dif = 
    var DStart=DIFDates[origStartDate]
    var DEnd=DIFDates[origEndDate]
    var Room=DIFDates[ROOM]
    var DBefore=CALCULATE(MAX(DIFDates[origEndDate]);FILTER(DIFDates;DIFDates[ROOM]=Room && DIFDates[origEndDate]<=DStart))
    return
    IF((DATEDIFF(DBefore;DIFDates[origStartDate];MINUTE)/60)>=24;BLANK();(DATEDIFF(DBefore;DIFDates[origStartDate];MINUTE)/60))

      Thanks - would this be a column or a measure?
