Hello,
I have an applicant workflow and would like to measure how long a candidate has spent in which status (per job and average across all jobs). I have the following table:
| Job Req ID | Application ID | Application Status | Application Status Category | Created Date (Timestamp) | Is Current Status | Skipped Status |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Personal Assessment | ASSESSMENT | 22.05.2023 06:21 | Skipped by user | |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Cultural fit assessment | ASSESSMENT | 22.05.2023 06:21 | Skipped by user | |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Manager Review | ASSESSMENT | 22.05.2023 06:21 | Not Skipped | |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Rejected - Direct Rejected | CLOSED | 22.05.2023 09:23 | YES | Not Skipped |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Screening | SCREENING | 22.05.2023 06:21 | Skipped by user | |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Default | APPLIED | 19.05.2023 14:34 | Not Skipped | |
| 300384 | 2388666 | Recruiter Interview | SCREENING | 22.05.2023 06:21 | Skipped by user |
If the status is "Skipped by user", the applicant was not in this status, if it is "not skipped", the applicant was in this status. For the case shown, I would want to know how long the applicant was in the status "Default" and "Manager Review". If "CLOSED", then I do not need any time.
I would be very grateful if anyone can help.
Kind regards
Christoph
Anybody there with a solution for this?
Hi @checkner ,
Could you please tell me what's the expected results according your sample data provided?
And this is the Power Query forum, You want a solution in Power Query, not a solution for DAX in Power BI Destkop, right?
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao

I would like to evaluate for each workflow step how long the candidates spent on average in which status, then break this down for each position. At the end, I would like to display the average value (per step) in my recruiting dashboard as a card and/or diagram.
I am therefore not sure whether Power Query or PowerBI Desktop is the right solution.
