Hello everybody,
I have a field in format of time like 9:03:45 or 9:46:12.
I need to make a new field where I would round the times to the nearest hour, for example:
9:03:45 -> 9:00
9:46:12 -> 10:00
How can I do that in Power BI?
Thank you.

Hi @TessGaston
You can do this in DAX or M languages depending where you want the calculation to happen.
If <original time> is the original time value:
DAX:
Round time to nearest hour ( TIME(1,0,0) = 1/24 representing an hour) and add a zero time value to ensure the expression is cast as a Time.
MROUND ( <original time>, TIME ( 1, 0, 0 ) ) + TIME ( 0, 0, 0 )
M:
There isn't an equivalent of MROUND in M, so instead multiply the time by 24 to express it as a number of hours, then round, then divide by 24 and convert to a Time type.
Time.From( Number.Round( Number.From( <original time> ) * 24 ) / 24 )
