Identifying Broken Shifts
Hi Everyone, I have a list of shifts and the Employees. I want to identify all the shifts that has less than 8 hours gap between them for each Employee. sample: I want to calculate the last two ...

Just put this into the Advanced Editor in Power Query and investigate the steps one by one... This does what you want. How to extract the relevant shift id's from it? That's what I leave to you as an exercise 🙂
// Shifts let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("pZBBCsQgDEWvIq4L/YlVa3ejxyi9/zVGKBRnkkUlu/DJ4yfvPD2DacW2cnLIR8AB+GVMKfboTglIyKFPH38tA5sd4dka0/DDUioqGzWW6bnm7t0ku6vs7pjHXhSKki0OSf7b0/LXq7Jab5E3J8lOea4Gz5J977kaPFeDZ8FOeK4Gz83gWbLvPTeD52bwLNgJz529vg==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Start Time" = _t, #"End Time" = _t, ShiftID = _t, EmpID = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Start Time", type datetime}, {"End Time", type datetime}, {"ShiftID", Int64.Type}, {"EmpID", type text}}), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"EmpID", Order.Ascending}, {"Start Time", Order.Ascending}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Sorted Rows", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Index",{"Index", "Start Time", "End Time", "ShiftID", "EmpID"}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns", "PrevShiftEndTime", each List.First( Table.SelectRows( #"Reordered Columns", (inner) => inner[Index] + 1 = [Index] and inner[EmpID] = [EmpID] )[End Time], null ) ), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Delta < 8 hrs", each [Start Time] - [PrevShiftEndTime] < #duration(0, 8, 0, 0) ), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Shift Broken?

I understand you just want a column in the base table? If this is the requirement, then this should be rather easy to calculate in Power Query. I also understand that for any given individual the shifts are never overlapping, right?

Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for your reply!
I want to define these two columns (Is broken Shift?, Broken Shift ID), no matter in DAX or Power Query.
Yes, its right shifts cannot overlap for the same Employee.
Cheers,
