Addition of time value.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a column that has data stored in HH:MM: SS format.

I just need the cumulative / sum value of that column in Days:HH:MM: SS.

i tried dax function: 

Total Working Time = FORMAT(Sum('report'[column name]), "HH:MM:SS")

that doesnt seem to work as it resets every 24 hours.

is there an alternative?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please check if this is what you want:

Case 1: Your time column is <24 hours and stored in "Time" type and "HH:MM:SS" format.

Create a measure like so:

Sum Measure <24 hours = 
VAR Seconds1 =
    SUMX ( 'Table', SECOND ( 'Table'[<24hours] ) )
VAR Minutes1 =
    SUMX ( 'Table', MINUTE ( 'Table'[<24hours] ) )
VAR Hours1 =
    SUMX ( 'Table', HOUR ( 'Table'[<24hours] ) )
VAR Seconds2 =
    MOD ( Seconds1, 60 )
VAR Minutes2 =
    MOD ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1, 60 )
VAR Hours2 =
    MOD ( Hours1 + TRUNC ( ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1 ) / 60 ), 24 )
VAR Days =
    TRUNC (
        (
            Hours1
                + TRUNC ( ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1 ) / 60 )
        ) / 24
    )
RETURN
    FORMAT ( Days, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Hours2, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Minutes2, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Seconds2, "00" )

Case 2: Your time column is >24 hours and stored in "Text" type and "Text" format.

Create a measure like so:

Sum Measure >24 hours = 
VAR Seconds1 =
    SUMX ( 'Table', CALCULATE ( VALUE ( RIGHT ( MAX ( 'Table'[>24hours] ), 2 ) ) ) )
VAR Minutes1 =
    SUMX (
        'Table',
        CALCULATE ( VALUE ( LEFT ( RIGHT ( MAX ( 'Table'[>24hours] ), 5 ), 2 ) ) )
    )
VAR Hours1 =
    SUMX ( 'Table', CALCULATE ( VALUE ( LEFT ( MAX ( 'Table'[>24hours] ), 2 ) ) ) )
VAR Seconds2 =
    MOD ( Seconds1, 60 )
VAR Minutes2 =
    MOD ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1, 60 )
VAR Hours2 =
    MOD ( Hours1 + TRUNC ( ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1 ) / 60 ), 24 )
VAR Days =
    TRUNC (
        (
            Hours1
                + TRUNC ( ( TRUNC ( Seconds1 / 60 ) + Minutes1 ) / 60 )
        ) / 24
    )
RETURN
    FORMAT ( Days, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Hours2, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Minutes2, "00" ) & ":"
        & FORMAT ( Seconds2, "00" )

The results:

Hi @amitchandak
I went through the links but still have doubts and confusions since I'm new to power bi.
Can you please help me by sending the Dax code for the same. It would be a huge help. Thanks
