Conditional column - rows condition for Time comparision
Hi team, I am a newbie and wants to compare and match time for vehicle entry and exits to their latest ones to calculate the turn around time. Each vehicle has multiple entry and exit time stamp and I want to match the entry time with the earliest exit time and not the last exit time of that vehicle. Below is an example where the driver has two different entry time but with my current condition the first entry time matches with both greater than exit times.
My "Validexit" column has the conditions if [Exit Date] > [Date] or ([Exit Date] = [Date] and [Exit Time] > [Time]) or [Exit Time] = null and [Driver] = [Exit Rec.Driver] or [Exit Time] = null then true else false
Thanks for the reply from Ashish_Mathur and Greg_Deckler , please allow me to provide another insight:
Hi Anonymous ,Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Create calculated column.
Rank = RANKX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Driver]=EARLIER('Table'[Driver])),[Time],,ASC)Mod = MOD([Rank],2)Group = SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Driver]=EARLIER('Table'[Driver])&&'Table'[Rank]<=EARLIER('Table'[Rank])),[Mod])Match = var _match_entrytime= MAXX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Driver]=EARLIER('Table'[Driver])&&'Table'[Group]=EARLIER('Table'[Group])&&'Table'[Rank]=EARLIER('Table'[Rank])+1),[Time]) return IF( _match_entrytime>=[Time] || _match_entrytime=BLANK(),TRUE(),FALSE())2. Result:

Anonymous Can you post your sample data as text? Also, I am not clear on your expected results.
Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.Greg_Deckler Sorry for the confusion and not being clear. Below is my Sample text data. I have entry and exit for each truck with the time stamp. I want to match the first entry with the first exit and then subsequent entry and exit for each vehicle. The source file is getting updated with time stamps and some of the trucks don't have the exit time stamps till it data source gets updated.

Regardless, are these the results you are expecting? PBIX is attached below signature.
Valid Exit = VAR __Type = [Type] VAR __Truck = [Truck] VAR __Location = [Location] VAR __Driver = [Driver] VAR __Time = [Time] VAR __Table = SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', [Driver] = __Driver && [Location] = __Location && [Truck] = __Truck && [Type] = "Entry" && [Time] < __Time ), "__Time", [Time] ) VAR __PrevTime = MINX( __Table, [__Time] ) VAR __Result = SWITCH( TRUE(), __Type = "Entry", FALSE(), ISBLANK( __PrevTime ), FALSE(), TRUE() ) RETURN __ResultHi,
In another column, please show the expected result.
