Work out difference in time between events

I have a table which looks like the below.

 

m_richardson_0-1679514703336.png

 

This details actions taken for finance applications, where there can be multiple action types per application.  The application ID identifies the application.  Each action is timestamped, has a type and a person who carried it out.  In the example above you can see two applications and the actions in sequence from Application Start to Paidout.

What I would like to figure out is how I can measure the difference in time between certain action types to use for reporting.  As an example, I would like to know how to know the average time taken from 'Application Start' to 'Paidout'.  I would filter this on a page by user or datetime perhaps.  

 

What DAX would help me to achieve this?

@m_richardson , Try like

 

Measure =
var _min = calculate(min(Table[Date Time], allexcept(Table, table[Application ID]), filter(Table, Table[Application Type] = "Application Start"))
Var _max = calculate(max(Table[Date Time], allexcept(Table, table[Application ID]), filter(Table, Table[Application Type] = "Paidout"))
return
averagex(Values(Table[Application ID]), datediff(_min, _max, minute))

Apologies for the delay, but this doesn't work. The parentheses don't match up, and I'm getting an error that MIN only needs two arguments passing to it.
