Function to extract column data

Hi There,

 

We  have a data set that I am trying to create a formula for;

 

Trying to define this one shift but each shift is different buy basic principle applies.

Shift starts Monday week 1 at 3 pm and 3 pm to 10 pm is paid afternoon rate

 

Same shift is split so two lines in data set.

 

Second component is hence on Week 1 Tuesday 6 am to 9am

How do i create a formula that identifies this eg changes to 3 pm to 10 pm when it is two seperate lines.

I have attached the sheet

Hi @Babycakes 

You can refer to the following solution.

1.Create a Index column

Index = var a=ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"DayNum",SWITCH([Day],"Monday",1,"Tuesday",2,"Wednesday",3,"Thursday",4,"Friday",5,"Saturday",6,"Sunday",7))
return RANKX(FILTER(a,[Shift Start]=EARLIER('Table'[Shift Start])),[Day],,ASC)

2.Then create the following columns

Sub_Shift Start = IF([Index]=1,[Shift Start],[Sleepover Finish])
Sub_Shift Finish = IF([Index]=1,[Sleepover Start],[Shift Finish])

Output
