Subtracting cells in two rows with condition

[Anonymous]

Hi PowerBi Pros!

I am wondering if something that i would like to achieve is possible, please look at the picture and read description below:

I would like to add a column to the right, where if a cell table[ActionType] = "TERMINATING", it calculates a difference between timestamps (timestamp for TERMINATING - timestamp for STARTING in below row). If the result is positive (>0) then store it in a column in a corresponding row (eg next to timestapm for terminating), if result is negative don't store it. And all of that applied to whole table. 

I tried conditional column and i guess it cannot be done with this or at least I couldn't make it. 

Will be very thankful for responses and tips!

Hi @Anonymous 

There are many rows with value "TERMINATING" and  "STARTING".

We can't define which row is the following row for "TERMINATING" and  "STARTING".

If you data only have two top rows with value "TERMINATING" and  "STARTING", then others would generate from your the calculation, this is impossible to do with Power BI.
