Strange that the HOUR works! Creating time related calculated columns is not allowed in direct query. You have to create measures only

      Hi Anonymous 
      This might require further formatting

      Countdown (minutes) =
VAR TimeDifference =
    SUMX (
        mysql_reports,
        IF (
            ISBLANK ( RELATED ( mysql_mail_log[created] ) ),
            DATEDIFF ( mysql_reports[*NU], mysql_reports[first_report_expected], MINUTE )
        )
    )
RETURN
    QUOTIENT ( TimeDifference, 60 ) & ":"
        & MOD ( TimeDifference, 60 )

      Would be great if you can provide sample file

        Even more simple is just to substract and select "Short Time" data type manually.

        Countdown (minutes) =
SUMX (
    mysql_reports,
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( RELATED ( mysql_mail_log[created] ) ),
        mysql_reports[first_report_expected] - mysql_reports[*NU]
    )
)
