Creating a measure in Dax to calculate difference between two rows (similar to excel)

liamcol_0-1613347955854.png

I would like to create a new column which would measure the difference between the two rows to find the "scan length"


What would be the DAX formula for this?  

 

Thanks!

new column=maxx(filter(table,table[Local Time]>earlier(table[Local Time])),table[Local Time])-table[Local Time]

Hi @liamcol 
Try this:

 

Diff = 
var _curMeasure = MAX(myTable[Measure]) //This row's measure
var _curTime = MAX(myTable[Time])       //This row's time


var _calc = CALCULATE(MAX(myTable[Measure]),FILTER(ALL(myTable),myTable[Time]<_curTime))  //Get the measure of the previous row


return IF(_curMeasure-_calc=_curMeasure,0,_curMeasure-_calc)  //if there is no previous measure, then 0 else the diff

I am unsure what to put for this rows measure? 

 

Thanks

 

Hi @liamcol ,
As you did not supply us with a pbix, I created a quick table called myTable with the columns named Time and Measure.
