I am trying to figure out how to get the difference between two dates based on the event.
I have event IDs as follows:
1=Created
2=Activated
3=Respond
4=Resolve
5=Closed
I need to get the days between created (ID1) to either the resolve time (ID4) or if not resolved, the days open as of today's date.
Sample from Current Table:
| item_id | Event_ID | Event_Name | date_hour_local |
| 368901 | 1 | Created | 1/5/2024 |
| 368901 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368901 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368901 | 4 | Resolved | 1/9/2024 |
| 368902 | 1 | Created | 1/5/2024 |
| 368902 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368902 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368902 | 4 | Resolved | 1/9/2024 |
| 368903 | 1 | Created | 1/5/2024 |
| 368903 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368903 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368909 | 1 | Created | 1/3/2024 |
| 368909 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368909 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368910 | 1 | Created | 1/9/2024 |
| 368910 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368910 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368910 | 4 | Resolved | 1/9/2024 |
| 368911 | 1 | Created | 1/9/2024 |
| 368911 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368911 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368912 | 1 | Created | 1/9/2024 |
| 368912 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368912 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368913 | 1 | Created | 1/9/2024 |
| 368913 | 2 | Activated | 1/9/2024 |
| 368913 | 3 | Responded | 1/9/2024 |
| 368913 | 4 | Resolved | 1/9/2024 |
This DAX gets me close, but I just need the actual days open, so that I can use it in other parts of the design (ie Avg Days Open).
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @madbaird,
You can try to use the following measure formasi lot get the difference between two event names if helps:
formula =
VAR created =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[date_hour_local] ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Event_Name] = "Created" ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[item_id] )
)
VAR resolved =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table'[date_hour_local] ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Event_Name] = "Resolved" ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[item_id] )
)
VAR lastest =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table'[date_hour_local] ),
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[item_id] )
)
VAR eventList =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( 'Table'[Event_Name] ),
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[item_id] )
)
RETURN
IF (
"Resolved" IN eventList,
DATEDIFF ( created, resolved, DAY ),
DATEDIFF ( created, lastest, DAY )
)

Thank you, that seems to work as needed.
@madbaird , Try new column or measure
New column =
datediff([date_hour_local],coalease( maxx(filter(Table,[item_id] = earlier([item_id]) && [Event_ID] = earlier([Event_ID])-1), [date_hour_local]),[date_hour_local]), DAY)
New Measure =
AverageX( Table, if([Event_ID] >1, datediff([date_hour_local],coalease( maxx(filter(Table,[item_id] = earlier([item_id]) && [Event_ID] = earlier([Event_ID])-1), [date_hour_local]),[date_hour_local]), DAY)))
