I've seen this question asked quite a bit, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me or doesn't thoroughly confuse me.
I'd like to create a calculated column that counts consecutive "bad" indicators. I don't care so much about single instances, good or bad. I'd like an ouput similar to the Result column below.
If measure would work better, that's fine with me. But it's a calculation I'm going to use quite a bit and, ultimately, I'd like to be able to pull some numbers that say "we had X amount of 'consecutive bads' this month on Y amount of servers and the average number of consecutives (in terms of duration, 2.3 consecutive bads or whatever) was Z".
| Server | Date | Indicator | Result |
| A | 1/1/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| A | 1/2/2021 | Bad | Don’t care |
| A | 1/3/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| A | 1/4/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
| A | 1/5/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
| B | 1/1/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/2/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/3/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/4/2021 | Bad | Don't care |
| B | 1/5/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| C | 1/1/2021 | Bad | Don't care |
| C | 1/2/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| C | 1/3/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |
| C | 1/4/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |
| C | 1/5/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |

Hi, @RShackelford
Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below. It is for creating a new column.
Thank You @Jihwan_Kim!
That worked for the dataset I provided in the example. However, I need to separate out the different consecutive instances within the same server (See server C in the table below). My apologies, I should have specified this in the original example.
| Server | Date | Indicator | Result |
| A | 1/1/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| A | 1/2/2021 | Bad | Don’t care |
| A | 1/3/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| A | 1/4/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
| A | 1/5/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
| B | 1/1/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/2/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/3/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| B | 1/4/2021 | Bad | Don't care |
| B | 1/5/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| C | 1/1/2021 | Bad | Don't care |
| C | 1/2/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| C | 1/3/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |
| C | 1/4/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |
| C | 1/5/2021 | Bad | 3 Bads |
| C | 1/6/2021 | Good | Don't care |
| C | 1/7/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
| C | 1/8/2021 | Bad | 2 Bads |
