    Hi AI14 

    try to use TIMEVALUE function to convert Duration to datetime data type as follows

    Duration =
    VAR _ref =
    MAX ( a[REF] )
    VAR _time1 =
    MAXX ( FILTER ( ALL ( a ), a[REF] = _ref ), [ST] )
    VAR _time2 =
    MINX ( FILTER ( ALL ( a ), a[REF] = _ref ), [ST] )
    RETURN
    TIMEVALUE ( FORMAT ( _time2 - _time1, "hh:mm" ) )

the actual:

Duration =
VAR _ref = MAX(a[REF])
VAR _time1 =
MAXX(    FILTER(        ALL(a),        a[REF] = _ref    ),    [ST])
VAR _time2 =
MINX(    FILTER(        ALL(a),        a[REF] = _ref    ),    [ST])
RETURN
FORMAT(_time2 - _time1, "hh:mm")
 

 

the Target: (i have this as a measure and a column, both not worked)
Target = 'Task Rules'[Earliest Start]+'Task Rules'[Duration]+'Task Rules'[Endbefore]+'Task Rules'[Setup]+'Task Rules'[Cleanup]
