Good Day
We are struggling to get a dynamic median filter.
Please see some sample data below:
The portion on the left in blue is the sample data.
On the right is some calculations we have done in powerbi.
We use the datadiff function to get the: Time to move states (time to new state and time to contacted state) as well as the Time currently still in new state (time to new state and Today); then we use the median and average functions.
We want to highlight the leads that are currently still in a new state but outside the median of those that already moved on.
So lead A should be highlighted because it is at 4.1 days which is greater than the median of 1.13 days.
But this must all be dynamic as new leads will come in daily and change the overall median, plus if we want to filter for a certain period then the median must reflect that period.
end result is a simple card visual showing how many leads are in a New state and currently outside the median (1 in this case)
Can anyone assist?

Hi @SammyNed ,
I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I create two calculated columns.
TimeToNewState = DATEDIFF([Time moved to New State], TODAY(), DAY)
TimeToContactedState = DATEDIFF([Time moved to New State], [Time moved to Contacted State], DAY)
Next I think you can create two measures and a calculated column.
MedianTimeToContacted = MEDIANX(
FILTER(
'Table',
NOT(ISBLANK([TimeToContactedState]))
),
[TimeToContactedState]
)
IsOutsideMedian = IF(
AND(
[Current State] = "New",
[TimeToNewState] > [MedianTimeToContacted]
),
1,
0
)
LeadsOutsideMedian = CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Table'),
FILTER(
'Table',
[IsOutsideMedian] = 1
)
)
