Dear Power BI Community
Following Task to solve:
Let's assume this table:
We are looking for the date/time difference of an ID from the first to the last Occurence
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your contribution.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @qwertzuiop ,
Please try:
TimeDiff_from_FirstTime_to_LastTime =
var _a = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[ID]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[ID])&&[CheckOccurence]="FirstTime"),[Date/time])
var _b = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[ID]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[ID])&&[CheckOccurence]="LastTime"),[Date/time])
return DATEDIFF(_a,_b,MINUTE)/(60*24)
Final output:

Hi @Mahesh0016
Hopefully with this visualisation I can better represent my desired output.
It is not necessarily important that the output is in the corresponding line. What is important is that somewhere there is information that, for example, ID MDY5MP takes approx. 3,999 days from first to lasttime (maybe best approach in a measure, no?)
Let me know if you need further information.
Thank you
