Hi there! I need some assistance with calculating a time difference between values in the same column. I have seen some other posts on the same topic, but they are not similar enough to my issue that i have been able to use them.

 

I have this extract from a large dataset

 

EVENTDATE_LOCALDATE/TIMEREPORT_TYPEVOYNUMPOSITIONPosition_Custom
14.03.2024 22:0014.03.2024 22:00Arrival132Arr. JEBEL ALIJEBEL ALI
17.03.2024 04:4217.03.2024 04:42Arrival132Arr. ABU DHABIABU DHABI
21.03.2024 09:0021.03.2024 09:00Arrival132Arr. MUMBAIMUMBAI

30.03.2024 10:4830.03.2024 10:48Departure132Dep. SINGAPORESINGAPORE

 

I would like to create a new column that calculates the time between Arrival and Departure if the VOYNUM and Position_Custom is the same. Would be great if anyone has any ideas!

Hi @palnarum ,

 

Create calculate column.

 

Time Difference =

VAR CurrentRowDate = 'Table'[EVENTDATE_LOCAL]

VAR CurrentVOYNUM = 'Table'[VOYNUM]

VAR CurrentPosition = 'Table'[Position_Custom]

VAR DepartureDate =

    CALCULATE(

        MIN('Table'[EVENTDATE_LOCAL]),

        FILTER(

            'Table',

            'Table'[VOYNUM] = CurrentVOYNUM

            && 'Table'[Position_Custom] = CurrentPosition

            && 'Table'[REPORT_TYPE] = "Departure"

            && 'Table'[EVENTDATE_LOCAL] > CurrentRowDate

        )

    )

RETURN

IF('Table'[REPORT_TYPE] = "Arrival" && NOT(ISBLANK(DepartureDate)),

    DATEDIFF(CurrentRowDate,DepartureDate,HOUR) / 24,

    BLANK()

)

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Thank you Clara

Unfortunately, I have a DirectQuery model and get the error message that the function CALCULATE is not allowed. I also tried to use the formula as a measure but it seems the issue is then that a single value for column 'EVENTDATE_LOCAL' in 'Table' cannot be determined. Not quite sure how to proceed.
