Right, it's not so much about MTBF as how to use EARLIER and FILTER to compare rows. You want to use EARLIER so just FILTER where ABS([Column]) = ABS(EARLIER([Column])) for example and if the COUNTX is more than 1, then it is a "Match".

See my article on Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/3395...
