Fill Down on conditions
Hello
I have a table with with null values where i wish to populate the data based on conditions and i am not sure if possible or how to go about it
Note: The earning code ( TTBV ) is applied when there is a gap between visits attended to on the same day.
Condition1.
The visit start time ( null values ) should contain the end time of the previous visit when there is a gap between visits
Condition2.
The visit end time ( null values ) should be the addition of the new start time based on condition 1 , plus the value in quantity field ( not sure if converting to duration output is the correct option for the quantity column )
Below is the expected output when manually entering these values.
Appreciate the assistance
See file for example.

What does your Quantity column represent? Minutes and Seconds or Minutes and Minute Fractions? 10:04:97 AM is not a valid timestamp.

Hi
The quantity column represents "minutes and seconds".

I might have to look at an alternate solution for my second condition.
However, if the first condition can acheived that would be a great help

An simple question in the context of DAX. Let's wait and see what you'll get in PQ.

edited and updated M code. I do not understand the >= 60 minute condition.

Regarding the 60 minute condition, i'll use the example below taken from the attached file
There are 3 visits on this particular day
Visit 1: 9:00 - 10:00
Visit 2: 11:30 - 12:30
Visit 3: 13:00 - 15:00
From the above scenario there are 2 gaps in time
Visit 1 to Visit 2 = 90 minutes
Visit 2 to Visit 3 = 30 minutes
The TTBV is a condition that allows a worker to paid whilst travelling to their next job but only if the gap between the next job is less than 60 minutes so in the example above the TTBV condition should trigger between visit 2 and visit 3 which would mean the start time for the TTBV would be:
12:30pm
Hope that makes sense- spinfuzerSolution Sage
Do we fill in the dates for service type "Reimburse KMs Travelled"? Can I only take end time's from Service Type = "CSW"?
