    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

    Table:

     

    You may create a calculated column as below.

    End Date = 
CALCULATE(
    MIN('Table'[DateTime]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Person]=EARLIER('Table'[Person])&&
        'Table'[Phase]=EARLIER('Table'[Phase])&&
        'Table'[Status]="Complete"&&
        'Table'[DateTime]>=EARLIER('Table'[DateTime])
    )
)

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

Anonymous , try new column like

 

maxx(filter(Table, [Name] =earlier([Name]) && [Phase] =earlier([Phase]) && [Status]="Complete"),[DateTime])

or

maxx(filter(Table, [Phase] =earlier([Phase]) && [Status]="Complete"),[DateTime])

Thank you for the prompt response. I have to make a status bar. That's why I need to know the start time and the end time of a phase. The maxx(filter(Table, [Phase] ?earlier([Phase]) && [Status]"Complete"),[DateTime]) function would solve the problem if that phase only occurred once, but in my case that phase occurs in several days and on some days several times during that day. So the maxx(filter(Table, [Phase] ?earlier([Phase]) && [Status]"Complete"),[DateTime]) function would give me the maximum date of the last time the phase is completed. Any idea for that every time there is that phase me from the date of the next state completed that phase? Thanks for the help.
