Hi
I get at list of jobs everyday, and I want to be able to see if a jobe have failed or is missed more than one day in a row. I have manualy create a short example, but I would like to know how to do this in Power BI, as I have over 1000 jobs.
I would to be able to show the counts on a date line, with the number of consecutive days of failurs or missed, but when there have been just one day without failure or missed the count should start over.

Hi again Greg
First thanks for the solution, it worked.
My new challenge is to only collect the highest number of a sequence in Cthulhu and also the larst date value together with the Cthulhu value.
Is that possible?
So I'm not intereted in all the counts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, only 5 and the information related to this entry.
Regards Bent
Never hear of Cthulhu before, but as I read this I can't use it, as I don't have an "Index", I only have a date, that can have multiple entries of jobs.
It is not as easy as a counter where all jobs comes listed one by one.
Thanks
@Lerager You can use either Index or Date, anything that defines "before". Here is another example where I believe dates were used. (3) Bride of Cthulhu! - Microsoft Power BI Community
