    Hi MaironDominguez ,

     

    Due to today is 8/7/2023, here I use 8/4/2023 as today to have a test to try to get the result you want.

    StartDate = 
VAR _TODAY =
    DATE ( 2023, 08, 04 )
RETURN
    IF (
        Table1[Ranking] = 1,
        _TODAY,
        _TODAY
            + CALCULATE (
                SUM ( Table1[Estimated Resolving Time (Days)] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[ITStaff] ),
                    Table1[Ranking] < EARLIER ( Table1[Ranking] )
                )
            )
    )
    EndDate = Table1[StartDate]+Table1[Estimated Resolving Time (Days)]

    Result is as below.

    If you want to dynamic today value, you can replace DATE(2023,08,04) by TODAY().

      Thank you very much, i really appreciate it. I am going to try to adapt this method to the real data and if I have any inconvenience I will let you know in this way.

      The following is happening: in some cases, there is a gap between the end date of one ticket and the start date of the next, theoretically that shouldn't happen (indicated with arrows). There's also the case (indicated with a dash) where a ticket hasn't ended when the next one starts. I would like to review this. I would also like to add that if a ticket starts or ends on a Saturday or Sunday, it should start or end on the following Monday.
