Hi @Adhavan ,

 

Here I suggest you to try this code to create a calculated column.

Diff column =
VAR _LASTORDER =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[order id] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[date] ) )
VAR _DIFF =
    [Datetime]
        - MAXX (
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[order id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[order id] ) - 1 ),
            [Datetime]
        )
RETURN
    IF ( 'Table'[order id] = _LASTORDER, BLANK (), _DIFF )

Result is as below.

Hi @Adhavan ,

it is a best practice to avoid using EARLIER to make the code easier to author and maintain, using variable (VAR), like in this example:
 
Diff column =
VAR FirstOrder_of_the_Day =
    CALCULATE (
             MIN ( 'Table'[Order ID] ),
             ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] )
             )

VAR Order_ID = 'Table'[Order ID]

VAR Diff =
    [DateTime]
        - MAXX (
                FILTER ('Table',
                        'Table'[Order ID] = Order_ID - 1
                       ),
                [DateTime]
        )
RETURN
    IF (
        'Table'[Order ID] = FirstOrder_of_the_Day,
        BLANK(),
        Diff
    )

@Adhavan , In case Order ID are incremental only 

 

a new column

 

Datetime= [Date]+ [Time]

 

Diff column =

[Datetime] - maxx(filter(Table, [Order_id] = earlier([Order_id]) -1) ,[Datetime] )

 

a Measure

 

Average(Table[Diff column])

@amitchandak ,

 

Its provided the result at each column. But, it calculate wrong average value due to following reason, which I couldn't elimate nor find the solution.

 

1. It calculates 18 hours for Jan' 1st alone.

2. It showing 12+ hours for every first order of the day (calculating from previous day)

 

I have attached the reference image. Could you help me to rid out of that.
