    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can use VAR to improve preformance.

    Previous SMR =
VAR _t =
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
            DailyProduction,
            DailyProduction[EIID] = EARLIER ( DailyProduction[EIID] )
                && DailyProduction[SMR] < EARLIER ( DailyProduction[SMR] )
        ),
        [Date], DESC
    )
RETURN
    MAXX ( _t, [SMR] )

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Don't quite understand your explanation. Can you give simple data and include the expected output values? It is best to share it in a tabular format.

 

Or you can try this expression:

Column =
VAR _last =
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            [EIID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[EIID] )
                && [date&shift] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[date&shift] )
        ),
        [date&shift], DESC
    )
RETURN
    IF ( COUNTROWS ( _last ) > 0, [Shift] - MAXX ( _last, [Shift] ) )

 

Result:

Pbix in the end you can refer.

Best Regards

Hi, that formula doesn't seem to be working, it just generates "-1" in all the columns.
 
I have managed to come up with a formula that works. The only issue is that that data set is over 1m lines, and processing this column takes almost all my memory and 10 minutes to run.
 
Previous SMR =
var _EIID = DailyProduction[EIID]
var _SMR = DailyProduction[SMR]
return
CALCULATE(
MAX(DailyProduction[SMR]),
TOPN(1, FILTER(DailyProduction, DailyProduction[EIID] = _EIID && DailyProduction[SMR]<_SMR), DailyProduction[Date], DESC)
)

      Thanks a lot! It still takes a while to run but I think that is just the nature of the calculation I am doing. I am changing the actual input of the database to include this number already so that I don't have to calculate it via formula.

       

      Thanks again
