Hi,
I'm trying to calculate the diiference in hours between two date/time columns. When I use DateDiff I am not able to use the two columns below.
Also can use a measure, i feel little faster loading time with this
TimeDiff = CONVERT(SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Date1],0)-SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Date2],0),DATETIME)
and then change the format to time hh:mm:ss
Cheers
DATEDIFF(TablaHoras[TimeFrom];TablaHoras[TimeTo];HOUR)
Thanks for both answers. I'm getting the below error for both;
DateDiff_Big...In PowerBI this function doesnt work.
Your Measure should be look like this:
MeasureName=DateDiff(xxxxxx,xxxxxx,Hour)
I'm confused. When I type DateDiff( I don't get the TimeFrom or TimeTo columns for selection in the measure.
If I use a calculated column I do but get the above error.
Hi @android1,
In your scenario, please take a look at @Sean's first reply. You need to create a calculated column instead of measure by clicking "New Column" button. As you mentioned the error occurs when you create a calculated column, would you please share a screenshot about the DAX expression for this column? And which visual do you use to display this calculated column values?
Best Regards,

Hi @android1,
From the image, the custom column DAX expression is correct. And I havn't seen the table visual displays the error you mentioned. Would you mind sharing the .pbix file for us to analyze closely?
Best regrdas,

@android1 You have to create a COLUMN - NOT a Measure!
Look at the picture in my post above - you can't do this as a Measure - that's why the columns are not showing up when you type!
click New Column - then you'll see the columns will show up after you type DATEDIFF
@android1 the error above is datediffBig function change to datediff
@android1 So you've verified both columns are date/time.
Then maybe you have some start (FROM) times that are after the corresponding end (TO) times.
See if this works - but don't forget that this means some of your data is not in the right order...
Hours = SWITCH( TRUE(), 'Table'[TimeFrom]<'Table'[TimeTo], DATEDIFF('Table'[TimeFrom], 'Table'[TimeTo], HOUR), 'Table'[TimeFrom]>'Table'[TimeTo], DATEDIFF('Table'[TimeTo], 'Table'[TimeFrom], HOUR), 0 )
Dear Sean i tried this method and it worked fine i want to see it in minutes how can i do it ?????
