Calculate Days in Role/Project
Hi All,
I was in need of some help in calculating the number of days between events. I am trying to calculate how long employees were in certain roles or on certain projects. Below is how my data table is modeled.
| Date | Employee ID | Role/Project | Event | Days Employed |
| 1/1/2018 | 01 | New Hire | New Hire | 1 |
| 1/2/2018 | 01 | New Hire | 2 | |
| 1/3/2018 | 01 | New Hire | 3 | |
| 1/4/2018 | 01 | Intern | 4 | |
| 1/5/2018 | 01 | Intern | 5 | |
| 1/6/2018 | 01 | Intern | 6 | |
| 1/7/2018 | 01 | Intern | 7 | |
| 1/8/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | Role Change | 8 |
| 1/9/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 9 | |
| 1/10/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 10 | |
| 1/11/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 11 | |
| 1/12/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 12 | |
| 1/13/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 13 | |
| 1/14/2018 | 01 | Level 1 | 14 | |
| 1/15/2018 | 01 | Level 2 | Role Change | 15 |
| 1/16/2018 | 01 | Level 2 | 16 | |
| 1/17/2018 | 01 | Level 2 | 17 |
In my model, New Hire and Intern are considered as the same position essentially.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing a column and use of EARLIER. See my article on Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/339586
Hi A_Ch
You may refer to below dax to create calculated columns.
Role/Project 2 = IF ( Table3[Role/Project] = "Intern", "New Hire", Table3[Role/Project] )
Long = COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Table3, Table3[Role/Project 2] = EARLIER ( Table3[Role/Project 2] ) ) )Regards,
