Duration of the chained workleaves

Hi,

 

I have a table where there is id. next chained id Start date, End date.

 

What I'm trying to achieve is to calculate the total duration of the work leaves but I'm not able to come up with the solution how the "edge case" is recognized that it is the last workleave that is part of the whole chain and the bolded "False" should also be True

This is my best effor (calculated column

IsLastWorkleave =
VAR current_id = FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id]
VAR next_id = FactWorkleaves[Nextchainedworkleave.id]
VAR last_id =
    IF(
        next_id = BLANK(),
        current_id,
        CALCULATE(
            MAX(FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id]),
            FILTER(
                ALL(FactWorkleaves),
                FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id] <> current_id &&
                FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id] > current_id &&
                FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id] <= next_id &&
                FactWorkleaves[Nextchainedworkleave.id] <> BLANK() &&
                FactWorkleaves[Nextchainedworkleave.id] <> current_id
            )
        )
    )
RETURN
    current_id = last_id

Hi here is a table with expected end result Workleaves table 

Access is denied.

Hi here it is another try Table 

I got a bit forward with this and got the dax to calculate the total duration of the chained work leaves

ChainedWorkLeavesDuration =
VAR CurrentWorkLeaveId = FactWorkleaves[Workleave.id]
VAR ChainedWorkLeaves =
FILTER 
FactWorkleaves , PATHCONTAINS FactWorkleaves[path] , CurrentWorkLeaveId )
           )
RETURN  
SUMX ChainedWorkLeaves , FactWorkleaves[Duration] )
 
But still have a problem how to calculate the work leave total duration correctly only once by workleave
 
Now the table calculates like this
 
Workleave.idPreviouschainedworkleave.idpathDurationTotal duration
111 11111
222111111 | 22212
333222111|222|33313
444 44411
555 55511

 

but the correct end result would be

Workleave.idPreviouschainedworkleave.idpathDurationTotal duration
111 11113
222111111 | 22210
333222111|222|33310
444 44411
555 55511
