Complex DAX Calculation - Event Log Cycle Times for Process Mining
Hi Elliot,
Maybe my explanation wasn't too good either.
But you did proof my point. By hardcoding " 'Change Log Entry - Process Mining Entry'[Process Mining Step Index]=0)" instead of
"= SELECTEDVALUE('Step A'[Step ID)" you influenced the operation at the time the table is created and getting the desired result.
Filters (slicers or otherwise) are not taken into account when creating a table. By the way, the same applies to a calculated column.
So the only way to have a dynamic user interaction is via measures in a visual. Unless you to use parameters that are applied during the data load.
I tried to find an article on this behaviour, but I could not find it immediately. But there are some topics on the forum where the same 'problem' is described

Hope this helps a bit

This is really helpful feedback Jan - thanks so much for your help 🙂
So, is there any way for me to measure the time between any Step A and any Step B using the same dataset?
Or should I make this report a template and create several copies of it with the same parameters?
There's so many AB Sets I'm interested in analyzing that I'm a little worried about overloading my BI Service with requests.
Hi Elliot,
It should be possible with the tables you use at the moment.
The solution is something along the lines of your table formula.
You will probably use a visual where data is grouped on 'Change Log Entry - Process Mining Entry'[Primary Key Field 2 Value]'
So the measure will use the 'Change Log Entry - Process Mining Entry'[Primary Key Field 2 Value]' as a filter.
If you have some more representative data available I could have a look for you.
