Count consecutive days, starting over if not consecutive every day

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.

 

Data:

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

@Greg_Deckler 

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
