Rack Count

Hi Everyone,

 

I trying to find the to total rack count with the dax, can anyone help me to write a dax in power bi.

 

current state is 7 and the next state is 8. If so, it adds 1 to the rack count.

# should not consider current state = 8 and the next state = 7 or state = 7 or state = 8

@Greg_Deckler ,

 

I used below method to solve it,

 

A) created Index calculated column

Index = RANKX('sampledf', 'sampledf'[timestamp], , ASC, DENSE)
 
B) created NextState calculated column
NextState =
VAR CurrentIndex = 'sampledf'[Index]
RETURN CALCULATE(
    MAX('sampledf'[State]),
    FILTER(
        'sampledf',
        'sampledf'[Index] = CurrentIndex + 1
    )
)
 
C) Written measure to calculate the Total columns
RackCount =
SUMX(
    'sampledf',
    IF(
        'sampledf'[State] = 7 && 'sampledf'[NextState] = 8,
        1,
        0
    )
)

@Greg_Deckler ,

 

Total count of rack should be 4. Below group will be counted as 1 rack and it should follow the sequence, 7 and then 8

@adarshmp8998 OK, so you the min date and time and then you are looking for where the next row is 0 or +1 different from that. So what are the other 4 racks? I still don't understand the logic here. Is it only the instances where it goes form 7 to 8 that count? So if there are consecutive 7's but no 8 then that does not count? What about the 1's? 

Seems similar to Cthulhu/Streaks. Streaks! - Microsoft Fabric Community. Off the cuff, maybe:
