Hello everyone,
Can someone help me create a calculated column to get the ouput below?
| ID | Date | Index | Output |
| A | 8/3/2023 7:45:05 | 1 | |
| A | 8/3/2023 7:45:15 | 2 | 0:00:10 |
| A | 8/3/2023 7:45:17 | 3 | 0:00:02 |
| B | 8/3/2023 7:45:21 | 1 | |

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Leslie1015 ,
Calculated column:
Output 2 =
VAR CurrentID = TableName[ID]
VAR CurrentIndex = TableName[Index]
VAR CurrentDate = TableName[Date]
VAR PreviousRow =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( TableName[Date] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[ID] ),
TableName[Index] = CurrentIndex - 1
)
RETURN
IF (
CurrentIndex > 1,
CurrentDate - PreviousRow,
BLANK ()
)

@Leslie1015 See my article on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/3395....
The basic pattern is:
Column =
VAR __Current = [Value]
VAR __PreviousDate = MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])
VAR __Previous = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date]=__PreviousDate),[Value])
RETURN
__Current - __Previous
