@Samuelcurr1e,

 

According to your description, you could add a calculated column as follows.

Duration Column = 
DATEDIFF (
    Table1[Action Date],
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        Table1[Action Date],
        Table1[Req No], Table1[Req No],
        Table1[Apr Seq No], Table1[Apr Seq No] + 1
    ),
    HOUR
)

Hi Sam,

 

Thanks for your response. I seem to get an error when using the calculation, 'Calculation error I column 'PR Process'[]: In DATE DIFF function, the start date cannot be greater than the end date' I've not seen this error before, any ideas?

 

Cheers

Sam

 

@Samuelcurr1e,

 

For DATEDIFF Function, an error is returned if start_date is larger than end_date. To quickly resolve the issue, you may need to provide more information.
