Calculate Total time duration for ON/OFF states

Hello All,

 

I have a table where it got date values with every three minutes of intervel.

In that table itself i have a column which gives status of AC whether its ON/OFF.

See the table below.

 

TimeAC Status
11:03:00 AMON
11:06:00 AMOFF
11:09:00 AMON
11:12:00 AMON
11:15:00 AMON
11:18:00 AMON
11:21:00 AMOFF
11:24:00 AMOFF
11:27:00 AMON
11:30:00 AMON
11:33:00 AMON
11:36:00 AMON
11:39:00 AMON
11:42:00 AMON
11:45:00 AMOFF
11:48:00 AMOFF
11:51:00 AMOFF
11:54:00 AMON
11:57:00 AMON
12:00:00 PMON

 

 

Now i would like to calclute the time duration in minutes for the both states that is ON/OFF.

i.e total running time duration for ON status, i.e total running time duration for OFF status,

 

Can any one please suggest me to get this done.

I will be so thankful to you.

 

Thanks,

Mohan V

Assuming your interval is always 3 minutes, you can count the rows in each status, subtract the status count of the first record, and multiple by 3. Try this:

 

ON TEST = 

VAR 
MINDATE = MIN(Table1[time])
VAR
MINCOUNT = COUNTROWS(filter(Table1,Table1[AC Status]="on" && Table1[time] = MINDATE))
VAR
ONCOUNT = COUNTROWS(filter(Table1,Table1[AC Status]="on"))
RETURN
(ONCOUNT-MINCOUNT)*3

If you do want to count the result of the first row, just use the ONCOUNT= line and skip the rest.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Are you trying to get the time difference between the current row and the previous row?
