Hi All,
I have two requirement were I have to find difference between Engineer to Customer response and Customer to Engineer response. Example : If the engineer has responded multiple times then we have to take the difference of the latest response against customer response and vice versa.
Please find the data table below :
| TicketId | Name | ConversationTime | Diff | TicketId | Name | ConversationTime | Diff |
| ABC | Engineer | 01-04-2020 17:36 | ABC | Engineer | 01-04-2020 17:36 | ||
| ABC | Engineer | 01-04-2020 17:43 | ABC | Engineer | 01-04-2020 17:43 | ||
| ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:04 | 141 | ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:04 | |
| ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:13 | ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:13 | ||
| ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:13 | ABC | Customer | 01-04-2020 20:13 | ||
| ABC | Engineer | 02-04-2020 13:19 | ABC | Engineer | 02-04-2020 13:19 | 1026 | |
| ABC | Customer | 02-04-2020 16:42 | 203 | ABC | Customer | 02-04-2020 16:42 | |
| ABC | Engineer | 02-04-2020 18:54 | ABC | Engineer | 02-04-2020 18:54 | 132 | |
| ABC | Customer | 05-04-2020 15:45 | 4131 | ABC | Customer | 05-04-2020 15:45 | |
| ABC | Customer | 05-04-2020 15:45 | ABC | Customer | 05-04-2020 15:45 | ||
| ABC | Engineer | 07-04-2020 10:49 | ABC | Engineer | 07-04-2020 10:49 | 2584 |
I have highlighted the required ones and non-highlighted ones are to be ignored.
Reply or ping me for more details and possible solution.
Thanks in advance
HI @Anonymous,
You can try to use the following measure formula to calculate between nearest different users to get the diff:
measure =
VAR currName =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Name] )
VAR currDate =
MAX ( Table[ConversationTime] )
VAR _next =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Table[ConversationTime] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
[Name] <> currName
&& [ConversationTime] > currDate
),
VALUES ( Table[TicketId] )
)
RETURN
DATEDIFF ( currDate, _next, SECOND )

Hi @Anonymous ,
I am not looking for the complete diference between the conversationtime column. I am looking for immediate difference between "Engineer" and "Customer" as well as "Customer" and "Engineer" column.
Hope i am clear with requirement.
Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous,
My formula can use to find out the next records which not has the same name as the current name, it should suitable for your requirement.
In addition, did these fields exist in the same table? If this is a case, you only need to replicate it and replace its name field and date fields.

Hi @Anonymous,
Yes i have TicketId, ConversationTime and Name in the same table. Other are custom columns which i have created to provide you my requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
