Calculate difference between two times? In HH:MM:SS

[HenryJS]

Hi all,

How do I calculate the difference between two time columns?

Both columns are in HH:MM:SS and I would like the difference column to be the same.

thanks,

Hi @HenryJS,

Perhaps you can try to convert your time value to total second(numeric) then you can simply use math operator to calculate on converted values.

For duration and time value transform, you can take a look at the following blog:

Aggregating Duration Time

@HenryJS , if data type is time

 Time diff = [time1] -[time2] //diff in time

diff = datediff([time1] ,[time2],hour) // hour ,min or sec etc

[HenryJS]

@amitchandak 

Time diff = [time1] -[time2]

doesn't work - please see below

Hi @HenryJS 

Assuming FF Hours 2 is your end time and Engage Hours per day 2 is your start time, try this

=Table1[FF Hours 2]-Table1[Engage Hours per day 2]

Hi @HenryJS 

In Power Query create a new Custom Column and subtract one from the other

#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Difference", each [End]-[Start])

@PhilipTreacy  unfortunately the time columns are DAX columns
