Help calculating change between hours and/or minutes

I need to calculate the change in a value between hours, minutes and between entries.  Similar to how you can do between days or months.

 

I have no idea how to start or even if it's possible.  

 

Data is inventory level taken at 5 minute intervals.  

 

I suspect that Power BI can't do this.  Nothing in DAX for minutes or hours.  Not sure about M.  Might be something in there.

 

Data:

Hi @pabeader 

 

Can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not enough information to go on;

please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
4. Relation between your tables

Appreciate your Kudos!!

If data is needed then I'm not doing a good enough job explaing the need or the reader isn't going to be able to answer the request.
