Subtract two columns based on a third id Column

Hello, 

 

How would you reccomend finding the difference of 1st & 2nd event age? 

 

Each ID has a 1st event age, and if event 1 fails, another row with the same ID has a 2nd event age.

I have been trying to do this with a calculated column, but feel a measure might be more suitable? What do you think?

Are you looking for something like this ?

Step 1

Max Event Age = CALCULATE(MAX(ColumnDiff[1 Event Age]),ALLEXCEPT(ColumnDiff,ColumnDiff[ID]))
 
Step 2
Min 2Event Age = CALCULATE(MIN(ColumnDiff[2 Event Age]),ALLEXCEPT(ColumnDiff,ColumnDiff[ID]))
 
Step 3
Diff = ColumnDiff[Max 1Event Age]-ColumnDiff[Min 2Event Age]
 

You did not mention about the output for which thre is no failure ?

 

Regards,

Ritesh
