Adjacent row formula using IF statement

[Alanoudfahad]

Hello,

I have this problem that I couldn't find a work around in PBI and was hoping I could find some help here. I have a check in/check out system and I want to calculate the total time an employee spent at the office (i.e.: excluding breaks). the data is in a log fortmat as shown.

In the sample data below, I want column total time to first check if the person (Personnel ID) in the previous row is the same as the current row and then check if the day (Date) is also the same to calculate total number of hours per day by subtrackting the time in the 2 rows for each check in and check out.

 I appreciate any help.

Hi @Alanoudfahad ,

Try the following formula to create measures:

next_in/out = 
var next_time = 
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] > MAX('Table'[Time])
        ),
        'Table'[Time]
    )
var next_in_out = 
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[In/out]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] = next_time
        )
    )
return next_in_out

Diff_time = 
var next_time = 
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] > MAX('Table'[Time])
        ),
        'Table'[Time]
    )
return next_time - MAX('Table'[Time])

TotalTime = 
IF( 
    MAX('Table'[In/out]) = "IN" && [next_in/out] = "OUT",
    [Diff_time]
)

Hi @v-kkf-msft  Thank you so much for the reply! I think we are almost there however, it's only showing my the IN and not the OUT, any idea?

Hi @Alanoudfahad ,

If you want to show total value, modify the measure:

TotalTime = 
var result = 
    IF( 
        MAX('Table'[In/out]) = "IN" && [next_in/out] = "OUT",
        [Diff_time],
        0
    )
return 
    IF(
        ISFILTERED('Table'[Time]),
        FORMAT(result,"hh:nn:ss"),
        FORMAT(
            SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[In/out] = "IN" && [next_in/out] = "OUT"), [Diff_time] ),
            "hh:nn:ss"
        )
    )

Hi @Alanoudfahad ,

Do you want show the OUT as 0:00:00 as shown before? If so, modify measure TotalTime to the following formula:

TotalTime = 
var result = 
    IF( 
        MAX('Table'[In/out]) = "IN" && [next_in/out] = "OUT",
        [Diff_time],
        0
    )
return FORMAT(result,"hh:nn:ss")

@Alanoudfahad , Try a new column like this

if( [In/OUT] = "OUT" , datediff(maxx(filter(Table, [In/OUT] = "IN" && [Datetime] < earlier([[Datetime]])),[Datetime]),[Datetime], hour), blank())

and then you can sum this up in measure

Hello @amitchandak 
It gives me the following error:

Too many arguments were passed to the EARLIER function. The maximum argument count for the function is 2.

Any idea?

[amitchandak]

@Alanoudfahad , There is small correction in formula,

Create a new column first 

if( [In/OUT] = "OUT" , datediff(maxx(filter(Table, [In/OUT] = "IN" && [Datetime] < earlier([Datetime])),[Datetime]),[Datetime], hour), blank())

Then create a new measure with it.
