Loop through sequence

Hi,

I’m looking to get total times 1 (when is 15 min in a row or longer ) -  Below a picture of what im working with now:

 I have create a measure with the help of SQLBI to find first time with when sensorwaarde is one in a sequence. The measure I created for this is: 

Previous Date 2.0 =
    VAR CurrentDate = MAX(Metingen[TijdstempelCEST])
    VAR FirstDateEver =
        CALCULATE( MIN(Metingen[TijdstempelCEST]), REMOVEFILTERS())
    VAR AllTimestampsWithoutOccupancy =
    CALCULATETABLE(
        values(Metingen[TijdstempelCEST]),
        Metingen[SensorType] = "Occupancy",
        Metingen[SensorWaarde] < 1,
        REMOVEFILTERS(Metingen[TijdstempelCEST])
    )
    Var PrevTimestampWithoutOccupancy =
        MAXX(
            FILTER(AllTimestampsWithoutOccupancy, Metingen[TijdstempelCEST] <= CurrentDate),
            Metingen[TijdstempelCEST]
        )
    VAR PrevDate =
        COALESCE(PrevTimestampWithoutOccupancy, FirstDateEver)
    VAR Result =
        DATEDIFF(CurrentDate, PrevDate, MINUTE) * -1
    RETURN
        PrevDate

 

The problem that I’m facing is that I can only take the [sensorwaarde] = 1 when this was 3 times in a row (so 15 minutes) and when it  was in the same room. To continue I wanted to create a nested loop and iterate through each sequence. When the sum of 1’s of each sequence would be >= 3 then I would take sum and add it to total times 1 else I would discard the data. The problem is there not a real way to loop to through the data. So I was hoping someone has a trick to do this? I’m quiet new to DAX so hope someone can help out.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Sza_Zsa ,

 

According to your description, some column fields of the measure such as [SensorType]  do not appear in the table you provided, can you provide the complete sample data? In my understahding, I think it is 5 minutes to go through a cycle, but what is the 15 minutes you mentioned? Please provide the loop nesting you want in more details to help you better.
