    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The sample data is in the first table above. There are a number of dates at each stage. I've created a measure that identifies the first date of each category. You will see the column called 'Earlies FirstDate'.

    I want to know how long the case has been at each stage using the first date of each stage.

     

    LineStageEarliest FirstDateDaysDays Calculation
    1Post AIP - Pre APP15/03/20230Line 2 minus 1

    4With CMO15/04/202319Line 5 minus 4
    5Drawdown04/05/202350Sum of line 1 to 4

     

    The table I'm using in Power BI is the first one with the columns:

    Case ID

    Stage

    Sort Order

    Status Date

    Earliest FirstDate

     

    Note also - Status source table is different to the others. I've included table view above.

    Hope you understand this.

    Thanks

      Hi  smithub , 

      I create a sample to have a test.

       

      Days Calculation = 
VAR _SUMMARZIE =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Case ID],
        'Table'[Stage],
        'Table'[Sort Order],
        'Table'[Earliest FirstDate]
    )
VAR _ADD1 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        _SUMMARZIE,
        "DateDiff",
            VAR _LINENEXT =
                MINX (
                    FILTER (
                        _SUMMARZIE,
                        [Case ID] = EARLIER ( [Case ID] )
                            && 'Table'[Sort Order] > EARLIER ( [Sort Order] )
                    ),
                    [Earliest FirstDate]
                )
            RETURN
                DATEDIFF ( [Earliest FirstDate], _LINENEXT, DAY )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Sort Order] )
            = MAXX ( ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Case ID] ), 'Table'[Sort Order] ),
        SUMX ( _ADD1, [DateDiff] ),
        SUMX (
            FILTER (
                _ADD1,
                [Case ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[Case ID] )
                    && [Stage] = MAX ( 'Table'[Stage] )
            ),
            [DateDiff]
        )
    )

       

      Result is as below.

        Hi, thanks a mil for your reply.

         

        Just a question on the first piece of code.

        VAR _SUMMARZIE =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Case ID],
        'Table'[Stage],
        'Table'[Sort Order],
        'Table'[Earliest FirstDate]

        My columns are coming from different tables:

        Table     Column

        Table 1  Case ID

        Table 2  Stage

        Table 3  Sort Order

        Table 1  Earliest FirstDate

         

        How can I put this int the code please?
