Hi, people.   I have a table with customer logs, where ID Cliente = "Customer ID", Start = "Ínicio" and End = "Término".      I must organize the information in periods:    Any...

    Sure thing - here you are.  There is the query + a custom function.

     

    Query:

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fc5BCsAgDATAr5SchSRrUmi/Iv7/G4YqHooKe8osZEshiAglUlaGQC/RVz0SN6ppurH6sRABY1Tsq+Dn99KtO3YDhuftAJsP8ulB5Fm6d/flgNoA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Client ID" = _t, DateTime1 = _t, DateTime2 = _t]),
        ChangeTypes = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Client ID", Int64.Type}, {"DateTime1", type datetime}, {"DateTime2", type datetime}}),
        Unpivot = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(ChangeTypes, {"Client ID"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
        Sort = Table.Sort(Unpivot,{{"Client ID", Order.Ascending}, {"Value", Order.Ascending}}),
        fnResult = fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow(Sort, 1, {"Value"}, null, ".next", null),
        Filter = Table.SelectRows(fnResult, each ([Attribute] = "DateTime1")),
        RemoveColumn = Table.RemoveColumns(Filter,{"Attribute"})
    in
        RemoveColumn

     

    Custom Function: fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow

     

    let
      Source = let
        fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow = (Table as table, optional Step as number, optional SelectedColumns, optional GroupByColumns, optional Suffix as text, optional Buffer as any) =>
        // Source: https://www.thebiccountant.com/2018/07/12/fast-and-easy-way-to-reference-previous-or-next-rows-in-power-query-or-power-bi/
        // The only mandatory parameter is your table and then it will return a table with the previous rows values of all columns. So fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow(MyTable) will return the result from above.
        // The default-value for this parameter is set to -1 to return the previous row if you omit it. If you want the values from the next row instead, fill in 1. 2 will return the overnext and -2 the pre-previous row.
        // You probably just need one or a few columns/fields from the previous row: In the 3rd parameter you can enter a list of column names to be returned:   fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow(MyTable, null, {"Value"})
        // Quite often the previous values shall only be returned within a group of rows. (That’s when you use [MyColumn] = EARLIER([MyColumn]) in DAX). You can enter a list of group-columns in the 4th parameter of this function: fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow(MyTable, null, null, {"Product"})
        // By default, the suffix “.Prev” will be added to the new column names. Use the 5th parameter to change if needed. In this example, I reference the row below using “1” for the 2nd parameter: fnTable_ReferenceDifferentRow(MyTable, 1, null, null, "Next")
        // If performance is still too bad, you can try to buffer the input table. Any value in the 6th parameter will do that for you (although I haven’t seen a performance improvement for my test cases).
        let
        // Steps to prepare the (optional) parameters for the nested function "fnFetchNextRow"
        Source = if Buffer = null then Table else Table.Buffer(Table),
        Step0 = if Step = null then -1 else Step,
        Step_ = if Step = null then 1 else Number.Abs(Step),
        Suffix = if Suffix = null then ".Prev" else Suffix,
        GroupByColumns = if GroupByColumns = null then null else GroupByColumns,
        ShiftFunction = if Step0 < 0 then Table.RemoveLastN else Table.RemoveFirstN,
        ColNames = List.Buffer(Table.ColumnNames(Source)),
        NewColNames = if SelectedColumns = null then ColNames else SelectedColumns,
        CountNewCols = List.Count(NewColNames),
        // Core function that retrieves values from previous or next rows (depending on sign of parameter "Step")
        fnFetchNextRow = (Table_ as table, optional Step as number, optional SelectedColumns, optional Suffix as text, optional Buffer as any) =>
        let
        MergeTable = if SelectedColumns = null then Table_ else Table.SelectColumns(Table_, SelectedColumns),
        Shift = if Step0 > 0 then ShiftFunction(MergeTable, Step_) & #table(NewColNames, List.Repeat({List.Repeat({null}, CountNewCols)}, Step_))
        else #table(NewColNames, List.Repeat({List.Repeat({null}, CountNewCols)}, Step_)) & ShiftFunction(MergeTable, Step_),
        Reassemble = Table.ToColumns(Table_) & Table.ToColumns(Shift),
        Custom1 = Table.FromColumns( Reassemble,  Table.ColumnNames(Source) & List.Transform(NewColNames, each _&Suffix ) )

        // optional grouping on certain columns

        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each fnFetchNextRow([All], Step0, SelectedColumns, Suffix, Buffer)),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.Combine(Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom", GroupByColumns & {"All"})[Custom]),
        // case no grouping
