    Hi  Anonymous ,

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Increase the index through power query

    2. Create calculcated column.

    Delta-values =
var _lastindex=
CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Index]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Metern]=EARLIER([Metern])&&[Index]<EARLIER([Index])))

var _lastdata=
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Data]),FILTER('Table',[Index]=_lastindex))

return IF(_lastindex=BLANK(),BLANK(),[Data]-_lastdata)

    3. Result.

    You can downloaded PBIX file from here.

     

    Best Regards,

    Liu Yang

Daxer,

That all makes sense,

However, I would still need the DAX code for it,

 

Any input for the DAX code highly appreciated!

No, you don't need DAX. You need M - the language of Power Query. That's the whole point. DAX is for data analysis. M is for data munging.

      let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("hY9BCsAgDAS/UnK2mGytFL8i/v8btdCi1gUhOY3ZdXIWKHRXq7MZkmodcWJ1IcX9+dnxY+IhoeM28TjkB5L/cdD71g/6v9YPmh+H/GvkWPhj4Q/ur/Bq/nnF/XvO/Ec++/ec+fP+17/c", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Datetime = _t, ID = _t, Value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Datetime", type datetime}, {"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"ID", Order.Ascending}, {"Datetime", Order.Ascending}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Sorted Rows", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Index",{"Index", "Datetime", "ID", "Value"}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns", 
        "ValueBefore", 
        each Table.SelectRows(
                #"Reordered Columns", 
                (r) => r[ID] = [ID] and [Index] = r[Index] + 1)
    ),
    #"Expanded ValueBefore" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "ValueBefore", {"Value"}, {"Value.1"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Expanded ValueBefore",{{"Value.1", "ValueBefore"}}),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Delta", each [Value] - [ValueBefore]),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom1",{"Value", "ValueBefore", "Index"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

       

      Here's the M code. Paste it into the Advanced Editor in Power Query and you'll see step-by-step how this is done. Then use it accordingly.
