Formulas on calculating the total of time

[wylee1]

Hello,

Need some advice as I am new to PowerBI. I am trying to calculate the sum time from start time and end time. REfer to below.

DateTimeStart     DateTimeEnd      ToolName                 Operation    User          sumtime
31-Oct-16 9:00   31-Oct-16 17:00   HiSeq 2000 Engg   TrainServ      Bernard       error

sumHours = sumx(timeTable, DATEDIFF(timeTable[DateTimeStart], timeTable[DateTimeEnd], SECOND))/3600

Please advice how to make it work.Thanks

Hi @wylee1,

You can create a measure like below:

TimeInter = DATEDIFF(SUM('Table2'[DateTimeStart]),SUM('Table2'[DateTimeEnd]),SECOND)

Or create a calculate column like this:

Inter = DATEDIFF('Table2'[DateTimeStart],'Table2'[DateTimeEnd],SECOND)

Reference:
DATEDIFF Function (DAX)

You can try this measure to get the correct results:

TotalHrs:=SUMX(timeTable,([DatetimeEnd]-timeTable[DatetimeStart])*1440/60)
