Variance Calc multiple Criterias

Hey Guys,

I need some help in doing a time diff calc (in seconds) based on multiple criteria. Here's the list of criteras (screenshot from excel helps explain)....

Criterias:

- If Username <> previous row User name, use calc A

- If Day# in CompletedTime <> Day# in Prev_CompletedTime, use Calc A

- If Completedime - Prev_CompletedTimeis > 2 minutes (or 120 seconds), use Calc A

-Else use Calc B

Calc A= Decision StartTime - CompletedTime

Calc B = Completedime - Prev_CompletedTime

Hi @zeke101 

I use the data in your Screenshot to have a test.

Firstly I add an index column into the Table.

Then we build a calculated column to achieve your goal.

 

Clean Time =

VAR _Calc_A =

    TIMEVALUE('Table'[DECISION_STARTTIME]) - TIMEVALUE('Table'[COMPLETEDTIME])

VAR _Calc_B =

    TIMEVALUE('Table'[COMPLETEDTIME]) - TIMEVALUE('Table'[PREV_COMPLETEDTIME])

VAR _PreviousUserName =

    IF (

        'Table'[Index] = 1,

        'Table'[USERBANE],

        CALCULATE (

            MAX ( 'Table'[USERBANE] ),

            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Index] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) - 1 )

        )

    )

RETURN

    IF (

        'Table'[USERBANE] <> _PreviousUserName,

        _Calc_A,

        IF (

            DAY ( 'Table'[COMPLETEDTIME] ) <> DAY ( 'Table'[PREV_COMPLETEDTIME] ),

            _Calc_A,

            IF (

                DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[PREV_COMPLETEDTIME], 'Table'[COMPLETEDTIME], SECOND ) > 120,

                _Calc_A,

                _Calc_B

            )

        )

)

 

We need to change the column type as Time and Format as h:nn:ss in column tools.

Result is as below:

Due to I dont know how do you deal with the first user, so when I make the first username = himself, so the first user use CalcB.

And the others calculation are the same as your Calculation logic.

One of the calcs was backwards (my fault), but it was an easy fix and your solution worked perfectly!

Thank You!
