Calculate estimated end time based on the median of turn around time

Hi, 

 

I would like to add one more column to indicate  the estimated end time for item#6 an item#7.

Estimated end time = start time + median of turn around time per category

 

Table:

Expected result after adding estimated end time column:

clteh9_1-1669786716035.png

 

Any help or discussion on this problem would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi @clteh9 , By using below measures you'll be able to acheive the solution from the below,

1. 

Median of turn around time per category =

VAR currentCategory =

    MAX ( 'Table1'[Category] )

RETURN

    MEDIANX (

        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table1' ), 'Table1'[Category] = currentCategory),

        DATEDIFF ( 'Table1'[Start Time], 'Table1'[End Time], HOUR )

    )

 

2. After you get the median you can now create a calculated column,

 

Estimated end time

'Table1'[start time]+'table1'[Median of turn around time per category]

Hi Nikhil, 

 

Thanks for the prompt response. 

 

1. why use MAX to get the current category?

VAR currentCategory =

    MAX ( 'Table1'[Category] )

2. Hit the following error. Can advise?

Thanks

Hi @clteh9 ,

I used max because while declaring the variable you can directly call a column you have to use some function.
