PowerBI same column calculation

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")

Hi,

Would you be OK with a Query Editor solution?

Hi @Ashish_Mathur @lbendlin  

any luck on above mentioned query, please? 

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.

@lbendlin Sorry for chasing you. But got any luck? 

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
