Hi,
So theoretically I know exactly what I want to do. I am simply having a difficult time executing that in Power Bi.
Basically I have a ton of data on helpdesk tickets.
What I want is the difference in closure times for conescutive tickets per agent per day.
I.E. How long did Agent A spend between closing ticket 1 versus ticket 2 versus ticket 3 versus ticket 4 on Septemeber 12th ect... ect...
The actual data has about 20 agents and over 75,000 tickets.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Tucker1991,
Please create some calculated columns with below formulas:
Index =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Agent ticket' ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Agent ticket' ),
'Agent ticket'[Agent] = EARLIER ( 'Agent ticket'[Agent] )
&& 'Agent ticket'[Date Closed].[Date]
= EARLIER ( 'Agent ticket'[Date Closed].[Date] )
&& 'Agent ticket'[Ticket ID] < EARLIER ( 'Agent ticket'[Ticket ID] )
)
)
+ 1
Closed time for previous Ticket =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Agent ticket'[Date Closed] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT (
'Agent ticket',
'Agent ticket'[Agent],
'Agent ticket'[Date Closed].[Date]
),
'Agent ticket'[Index]
= EARLIER ( 'Agent ticket'[Index] ) - 1
)
)
spend time =
DATEDIFF (
'Agent ticket'[Closed time for previous Ticket],
'Agent ticket'[Date Closed],
SECOND
)
Best regards,

Would I basically want to use a DAX formula similar to the one below.
Column = DATEDIFF (
'Ticket Data'[Time],
CALCULATE (
MIN ( [Time] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Ticket Data' ), [INDEX] < EARLIER ( 'Ticket Data'[INDEX] ) )
),
SECOND
)
But add IF Agent and Date is the same?
Thanks,
