Hello @jbenson ,

In power query, you can use the function Duration.Hours() to find the time difference in hours between two given times. Sample is below :

In DAX, you can  compute the difference between start and end times and then pass that in the DATEDIFF function to get the hours worked. Since there is no date part when you subtract the times, Power BI defaults to 30/12/1899 as the date, which is why I've subtracted the time difference from 30/12/1899 midnight to get the hours value.
