    Hi Sunila please try this calculated column

     

    IsCancellation =
    VAR CurrentEmployee = Sheet5[EmployeeID]
    VAR CurrentDate = Sheet5[LeaveDate]
    VAR CurrentHrs = Sheet5[Hrs]
    VAR CurrentStatus = sheet5[Status]

    RETURN
    IF (
        CurrentHrs = 0 && CurrentStatus = "Completed" &&
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS (sheet5 ),
            FILTER (
                sheet5,
                sheet5[EmployeeID] = CurrentEmployee &&
                sheet5[LeaveDate] = CurrentDate &&
                sheet5[Hrs] >= 1 && Sheet5[Hrs] <= 8
            )
        ) > 0,
        "Yes",
        "No"
    )

Hi Sunila ,

To identify cancellations in your leave data, you can create a calculated column that checks for two key conditions:

The current row shows 0 hours and has a "Completed" status (indicating a cancellation).

There is another row for the same employee and same leave date with a leave request between 1 to 8 hours (indicating the original request).

If both conditions are met, the 0-hour row is flagged as a cancellation of the original leave.
This approach will help you clearly distinguish between genuine leave entries and those that represent canceled requests.
