Find middle date in between first and last date, and put in column

I have a table like this:

idtimestamptemperaturefirst date - idlast date - idmiddle date - idfirst, last, middle
11/1/20 1:00 AM14TRUEFALSE First
11/1/20 2:00 PM12.4FALSEFALSE na
11/1/20 8:00 AM16.3FALSEFALSE na
11/2/20 1:00 AM14.2FALSEFALSE na
11/2/20 2:00 PM15.9FALSEFALSE na
11/2/20 8:00 AM14.5FALSEFALSE na
11/3/20 1:00 AM13.2FALSEFALSE na
11/3/20 2:00 PM19.3FALSETRUE Last
11/3/20 8:00 AM16.9FALSEFALSE na
21/1/20 1:00 AM14.3TRUEFALSE First
21/1/20 2:00 PM12.4FALSEFALSE na
21/1/20 8:00 AM16.3FALSEFALSE na
21/2/20 1:00 AM14.2FALSEFALSE na
21/2/20 1:00 PM15.9FALSEFALSE na
21/2/20 8:00 AM14.5FALSEFALSE na
21/3/20 2:00 AM13.2FALSEFALSE na
21/3/20 1:00 PM13.5FALSETRUE Last
21/3/20 8:00 AM16.9FALSEFALSE na

 

I have calculated the first and laste date using this formula: IF(tabledb[timestamp]=CALCULATE(MIN(tabledb[timestamp]),ALLEXCEPT('tabledb', 'tabledb'[id])),True)

 

How can I get the middle date in a format like last and first, and then create a new column to show first, middle and last date for every id, like shown in table above for first and last date.

 

Thanks a lot.

I recommend you first ranked the timestamp for each id. Then use MEDIAN to get the middle rank for each id.

Rank= RANKX(FILTER(Tabledb,[id]=EARLIER(Tabledb[id])),Tabledb[timestamp],,ASC,Dense)

firstmidlast = 
IF(Tabledb[Rank]=MIN(Tabledb[Rank]),"first",IF(Tabledb[Rank]=MAX(Tabledb[Rank]),"last",IF(Tabledb[Rank]=MEDIAN(Tabledb[Rank]),"mid")))

create rank inside each id.  crease dense rank

refer -https://radacad.com/how-to-use-rankx-in-dax-part-2-of-3-calculated-measures

 

create rank as column.

 

Now using that you can use min and max of rank try to find middle rank and use that.
