DAX Calculated Column Sequence of Event Actions and Sessions

I have dataset with users actions logs. We have next data collection logic - every user have it own user_id and we record log of event actions during user session.

user_id session_id dateTime event
1aa2023-01-01 13:12:11login
1aa2023-01-01 14:12:10buy
1bb2023-01-02 11:12:10page
2cc2023-01-01 10:11:01login
2gg2023-01-03 11:12:11logout
2gg2023-01-03 13:11:03click
2gg2023-01-03 14:10:07logout

The main goal is prepare output and add 2 calculated columns: 1. with events action sequence during every user session and 2. with session sequence during all user lifetime by SQL.

Expected output:

user_id session_id dateTime event event_seq session_seq
1aa2023-01-01 13:12:11login11
1aa2023-01-01 14:12:10buy21

What was done from my side: 
1. Successfully create column with events action sequence during session

 

 

Event Action Sequence = 
COUNTROWS ( 
    FILTER ( 
        CALCULATETABLE (
           Sheet1, 
            ALLEXCEPT (Sheet1, Sheet1[session_id])
        ),
        Sheet1[Date] < EARLIER ( Sheet1[Date] )
          || ( Sheet1[Date] = EARLIER ( Sheet1[Date] ) 
               && Sheet1[Time Action] <= EARLIER ( Sheet1[Time Action] ) )
    )
)​

 


2. Sessions Sequence Order By each user - calculated column not prepared - I stucked on it. Only prepared time for each session when it started (minimum time for each session)

 

Min Session DateTime = 
    CALCULATE(
        MIN(Sheet1[dateTime]),
        ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[session_id])
    )   ​

 

 


So the main help request, how to solve this and create one more column with sessions sequene number orderd ascending by timestamp for each user.

Hi, @Hello2000 

 

First, create a calculated column for the session sequence:

Session Sequence =
RANKX(
FILTER(
ALL(Sheet1),
Sheet1[user_id] = EARLIER(Sheet1[user_id])
),
Sheet1[dateTime],
,
ASC,
Dense
)

 

Next, create a calculated column for the event sequence within each session:

Event Sequence =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Sheet1),
FILTER(
ALL(Sheet1),
Sheet1[user_id] = EARLIER(Sheet1[user_id]) &&
Sheet1[session_id] = EARLIER(Sheet1[session_id]) &&
Sheet1[dateTime] <= EARLIER(Sheet1[dateTime])
)
)
