check whether value occurs before other value

Hi community

 

I am relatively new to Power Bi and have a question regarding checking whether an activity occurred before an other activity (check for maverick buying).

I have following table:

I want to create a calculated field (boolean 1 or 0) per distinct case to check whether record invoice receipt occurs before create purchase order item.

 

Anyone that has an idea in how to achieve this?

 

Thanks a lot!

@Anonymous , Create a new column

new column =
var _po = minx(filter(Table, [case] = earlier([case]) && [Activity Name] = "Create Purchase Order Item"),[Event Date])
var _inv = minx(filter(Table, [case] = earlier([case]) && [Activity Name] = "Record Invoice Date"),[Event Date])
return
if(_po > _inv,1,0)
