Hi,
Question about calculating Leadtimes between certain moments in time with a condition.
I've included an example :
I have indicators that determines the start of a new phase per process. So I have to determine the time for phase 1 and phase 2. I can't assign the phase to certain processsteps because the end of phase and the start of the next phase is determined by the same processtep.

You can create two calculated columns. See more in the attached pbix file.
phase2 proceStepID =
MINX (
FILTER (
FILTER ( yourTable, EARLIER ( yourTable[ProcesID] ) = yourTable[ProcesID] ),
yourTable[Phase2] = 1
),
yourTable[ProcesStepID]
)
phases =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
yourTable[ProcesStepID] <= yourTable[phase2 proceStepID], "phase1",
"phase2"
)
Hi Eric,
Thank you for the proposed solution. Much appreciated.
Although it 's in the right direction, It seems that the values for for procesID 3 and 4 are not correct. There are values for ProcesID 3 and 4 and those should be 0.
If I expand the example with some more phases, the MINX-FILTER-FILTER DAX expression is only working for two phases, IMO. But in my reallife scenario I have multiple phases (to be exact 5 phases).
So I thought to create separate columns for calculation of time for phase1, phase2, phase3, etc, But that will give me a circular dependenc error
EndProcesStepID =
MINX (
FILTER (
FILTER ( FactProces, EARLIER ( FactProces[ProcesID] ) = FactProces[ProcesID] ),
FactProces[End] = 1
),
FactProces[ProcesStepID]
)
=
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
FactProces[ProcesStepID] <= FactProces[EndproceStepID], [SumTimeInSec]
)
A circular dependency was detected: 'FactProces'[CalculatedColumn1],'FactProces'[CalculatedColumn1],'FactProces'[Phase1],'FactProces'[Phase1],'FactProces'[CalculatedColumn1].
Thanks again.

ps. Maybe i can avoid the cirular dependency error by determing the processteps in my SQL query...
