CALCULATE MINIMUM based on 2 categoires

Hello,

 

Could use some help figuring out the DAX syntax for the following scenario.

I have a single table with a self referential hierarchy that looks like this:

 

IDTypeRequest IDTimestampTime to first reply (minutes)
554QuestionABC1238/1/2020 13:493
231ReplyABC1238/1/2020 13:52 
895ReplyABC1238/1/2020 13:53

520ReplyGHI3458/2/2020 8:09

I am trying to calculate the value in the "Time to First Reply" column, basically for each question, subtract the earliest reply timestamp from the question timestamp.

 

In pseudo code this would look something like this: 

 

(RequestID(timestamp), Filter(type = "Question)) - (min(request_id(timestamp)), Filter(type = "Reply"))

 

I just can't get the FILTER, ALLEXCEPT etc.. to give me what i need.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Create a Column

 

 

Column = 

var a = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Timestamp]), FILTER('Table','Table'[Request ID] = EARLIER('Table'[Request ID]) && 'Table'[Type] = "Reply"))

RETURN
IF ('Table'[Type] = "Question" , DATEDIFF('Table'[Timestamp],a, MINUTE), BLANK())

Incase you need a measure

First Reply = 

var a = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Timestamp]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Request ID] = MAX('Table'[Request ID]) && 'Table'[Type] = "Reply"))

RETURN
IF (MAX('Table'[Type]) = "Question" , DATEDIFF(MAX('Table'[Timestamp]),a, MINUTE), BLANK())

[TTFR (mins)] = // calc column
var __type = T[Type]
return
    if( __type = "question",
    
        var __request = T[Request ID]
        var __requestTime = T[Timestamp]
        var __replyTime =
            MINX(
                filter(
                    T,
                    T[Request ID] = __reqest
                    &&
                    T[Type] = "reply"
                ),
                T[Timestamp]
            )
        return
            DATEDIFF(
                __requestTime,
