Calculate TimeInStatus

Hi,

 

I retrieve data from my JIRA projects in PowerBI via the REST API services that JIRA provides.


On each ticket, I retrieve the history of the actions that took place, including status changes. For this case (status changes), I know the original status (Change.fromString), the final status (Change.toString) and the datetime of the status change.

 

So, the data is looks like this: 
2018-05-27 20_17_26-Téléchargements.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From these data, I try to know the time spent in "Demande imprécise" status.

 

For example, if I consider the "11419" ID ticket, here are the periods of time in "Demande imprécise" status and the duration :

- 03/05/18 5:06 PM - 03/05/18 5:06 PM  ==> 14 s
- 03/05/18 5:34 PM - 03/05/18 5:37 PM ==> 3 m
- 03/05/18 5:38 PM - 03/05/18 5:40 PM ==> 2 m
Total: 5 m 14 s

 

I am a little lost to make theses operations, have you already realized that? If yes, how?

 

Tahnks in advance.

 

Best regards,

Anthony

Can you share how you obtained this data from Jira? I'm struggling with getting this data at the minute 😞

Hi @aaumond

You could write calculated columns with DAX as follows step by step.
date ship down =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( [Change date] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Sheet1 ),
        [Index]
            = EARLIER ( [Index] ) - 1
            && MOD ( [Index], 2 ) = 0
            && [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] )
    )
)
second =
IF (
    DATEDIFF ( [date ship down], [Change date], SECOND ) < 60,
    DATEDIFF ( [date ship down], [Change date], SECOND )
)
Column =
CONCATENATE (
    INT (
        MOD (
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( [second] ),
                FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] ) )
            ),
            3600
        )
            / 60
    ),
    "m"
)
    & CONCATENATE (
        INT (
            MOD (
                MOD (
                    CALCULATE (
                        SUM ( [second] ),
                        FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] ) )
                    ),
                    3600
                ),
                60
            )
        ),
        "s"
    )

Or you can write a formula to calculate the total time period per ID ticket.
Column 2 =
VAR dateshipdown =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [Change date] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Sheet1 ),
            [Index]
                = EARLIER ( [Index] ) - 1
                && MOD ( [Index], 2 ) = 0
                && [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] )
        )
    )
VAR second =
    IF (
        DATEDIFF ( [date ship down], [Change date], SECOND ) < 60,
        DATEDIFF ( [date ship down], [Change date], SECOND )
    )
RETURN
    CONCATENATE (
        INT (
            MOD (
                CALCULATE (
                    SUM ( [second] ),
                    FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] ) )
                ),
                3600
            )
                / 60
        ),
        "m"
    )
        & CONCATENATE (
            INT (
                MOD (
                    MOD (
                        CALCULATE (
                            SUM ( [second] ),
                            FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), [ID ticket] = EARLIER ( [ID ticket] ) )
                        ),
                        3600
                    ),
                    60
                )
            ),
            "s"
        )

Hi @v-juanli-msft ,

What's the logic behind index?

Hi @v-juanli-msft,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Do you think it's possible to do this in Power Query rather than DAX ?

 

Regards,

Anthony
