Hi,
I need help for performing calculation within same column on PowerBI like I did it in MS Excel.
=IF(A2<>A1, "NULL", F2).
How to put this formula in DAX?
Hi,
It is easier to solve this in the Query Editor. If you are interested, then share data in a format the can be pasted in an MS Excel file and show the expected result.
Hi @Ashish_Mathur , @lbendlin
Here is the data you need. I need calculaiton in last two columns. Start time and Stop time.
Start time :
=IF(A2<>A1, "NULL", F2).
Stop Time :
=IF(A3=A2, F3, "NULL")
TICKET_NUM | TICKET_OPENED | SEVERITY | ACTIVITY_TYPE | TICKET_STATE1 | ACTIVITY_TIME | START_TIME | STOP_TIME |
309703748 | 5/2/2022 13:21 | 4 | Customer Log | Queued | 5/2/2022 13:21 | NULL | 5/2/2022 13:21 |
309703748 | 5/2/2022 13:21 | 4 | Initial Creation | Queued | 5/2/2022 13:21 | 5/2/2022 13:21 | 5/4/2022 13:57 |
309703748 | 5/2/2022 13:21 | 4 | Customer Log | Queued | 5/4/2022 13:57 | 5/4/2022 13:57 | 5/6/2022 15:17 |

Hi,
Would you be OK with a Query Editor solution?
why does the start_time need to be null for the first entry? Do you need a measure or is a calculated column enough?
Hi @lbendlin,
A calulted column is enough. this way I will be able to count the actual differed time.
why does the start_time need to be null for the first entry?
I think you're not reading formulas and data proper. You can try inserting dummy data to excel and use formulas given for Start_Time and Stop_Time then see the result. I need exact same replicated in PowerBI
