Hi All,
I am trying to show the time difference between 'Time Created' by Employee. I have found solutions that use a calculated column, but I am using a direct query to a SQL server and this seems to prevent me from being able to use calculated columns.
The new column will show 7 min, 5 min, 5 min, etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , You will not be able to create a column as earlier is not supported.
Try a measure like this
diff =
maxx(summarize(Table, Table[Employee], Table[time created],"_1",
max(Table[time created]) -maxx(filter(allselected(Table), Table[employee] =max(Table[employee]) && Table[time created] <max(Table[time created])),Table[time created])
),[_1])
This should work with the employee and time created. See if this can work for you

@Anonymous
Alternate Solution in SQL using the Lead function and later Date Difference as follows
1. LEAD([Time Created],1) OVER (PARTITION BY Employee ORDER BY [Time Created]) AS Lead
2. DATEDIFF(MINUTE,[Time Created],LEAD([Time Created],1) OVER (PARTITION BY Employee ORDER BY [Time Created])) AS [Difference]
