Counting days between different changes made to a record

HILGARTH — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 19:14:44 GMT

To a table a copy of the initial record is added when there was a change.

I would like to calculate the days between these changes so that I know how many days passed between the different kinds of status.

Record ID	Product	Status	Record created	Date of last change
1	Trouser	Ordered	2023-10-11	2023-10-11
1	Trouser	Shipped	2023-10-11	2023-10-12
1	Trouser	Delivered	2023-10-11	2023-10-23

This means I should be able to display results like:

Days between Status “Ordered” and “Shipped” = 1 day

Days between Status “Shipped” and “Delivered” = 12 days

Days between Status "Shipped” and “Delivered" = 11 days

How to do this in Power BI?

=VAR _d=MAX(Table[Date of last change]) RETURN _d+1-COALESCE(CACULATE(MAX(Table[Date of last change]),Table[Date of last change]<_d,ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Record ID]),MAX(Table[Record Created]))

Hi HILGARTH,

May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I calculated days between Status “Ordered” and “Shipped” and “Shipped” and “Delivered”, The following table shows the effect of the display.

Step: Create a new Calculated column, and drag the new Calculated column to the table visual.

Column = DATEDIFF ( CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date of last change] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date of last change] ) > 'Table'[Date of last change] && 'Table'[Record ID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Record ID] ) ) ), 'Table'[Date of last change], DAY )

If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
