I need the difference between the earliest time and latest time for each group of element ids.

 
FLR = VAR firsttime =
CALCULATE(
VALUES('sys_journal_field'[sys_created_on]),
FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('sys_journal_field','sys_journal_field'[element_id]), FIRSTDATE(sys_journal_field[sys_created_on]))
)

VAR lasttime =
CALCULATE(
VALUES('sys_journal_field'[sys_created_on]),
FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('sys_journal_field','sys_journal_field'[element_id]), LASTDATE(sys_journal_field[sys_created_on]))
)

Return

DATEDIFF(firsttime, lasttime, MINUTE)

Hi,

You have not mentioned the problem that you are facing.  Anyways, drag element_id to the visual and write this measure

Measure = max(sys_journal_field[sys_created_on])-min(sys_journal_field[sys_created_on])
