Hello everyone,
I need to recover the longitude referring to the previous time stamp
Here is an example of my data :
| Identifiant | PositionTimeStampp | OldPositionTimeStamp | Long | Lat | OldLong | OldLat | |||||
| 1 | 21/07/2022 14:50:00 | 21/07/2022 14:40:00 | 0,12928 | 46,80856 | 0,13119 | 46,80699 | |||||
| 1 | 21/07/2022 14:40:00 | 0,13119 | 46,80699 | ||||||||
| 2 | 21/07/2022 13:50:00 | 21/07/2022 13:40:00 | 0,09237 | 47,25609 | 0,09208 | 47,25606 | |||||
| 2 | 21/07/2022 13:40:00 | 0,09208 | 47,25606 |
I did recover the old timestamp (see formula below). Now I wish I could recover and display the old longitude and the old latitude (value red)
My formula for timestamp is:
oldPositionTimeStamp = CALCULATE(MAX('TABLEPOSITION'[PositionTimestamp]),'TABLEPOSITION'[PositionTimestamp] < EARLIEST('TABLEPOSITION'[PositionTimestamp]),ALLEXCEPT('TABLEPOSITION','TABLEPOSITION'[IDENTIFIANT]))
I tried this formula to get the old longitude ans the same for the latitude :
var OldLong = CALCULATE(MAX('TABLEPOSITION'[Long]), 'TABLEPOSITION'[positionTimestamp] = oldPositionTimeStamp)
return previouslong
But I don’t get value in the column, do you have a solution ?
Best regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey @Anonymous ,
Please try this code to create new calculated column:
requiredLatValue =
VAR oldtimestamp =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'MyTable'[PositionTimestampp] ),
MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] < EARLIEST ( MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'MyTable', MyTable[Identifiant ] )
)
RETURN
(
CALCULATE (
MAX ( MyTable[Lat] ),
FILTER ( MyTable, MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] = oldtimestamp )
)
)
requiredLongValue =
VAR oldtimestamp =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'MyTable'[PositionTimestampp] ),
MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] < EARLIEST ( MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'MyTable', MyTable[Identifiant ] )
)
RETURN
(
CALCULATE (
MAX ( MyTable[Long] ),
FILTER ( MyTable, MyTable[PositionTimeStampp] = oldtimestamp )
)
)
The results will be as shown:
Thank you everyone for your solution, I was able to succeed with the solution of @PC2790
You could create a couple of measures like
Old Lat =
VAR currentTimestamp =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'TABLEPOSITION'[Position Timestamp] )
RETURN
CALCULATETABLE (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
TOPN ( 1, 'TABLEPOSITION', 'TABLEPOSITION'[Position Timestamp] ),
"@val", 'TABLEPOSITION'[Lat]
),
'TABLEPOSITION'[Position Timestamp] < currentTimestamp
)and then same again for longitude
Try re-using your original line as follows ->
