    HI Dougers1 ,

    create the  measure below. Replace"TimeCalc" with your table name. 

    total time (hours and mins) = 
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(TimeCalc[Status]) ="Substantive Filled", 
    FORMAT( SUM(TimeCalc[Hours]),"HH:MM"),
    blank()
)

     If this doesn't resolve the issue, please provide a sample output.

        Duration Hour Minute =

        VAR _Hour = HOUR( SELECTEDVALUE( Interpreting[Hours] ) )
        //Find minute as proportion of hour
        VAR _Minute = DIVIDE(MINUTE( SELECTEDVALUE( Interpreting[Hours] ) ), 60, 0 )
        //Add together
        VAR _Result = _Hour + _Minute

        RETURN
        _Result
         
        then 
         
        Duration Sum v2 = SUMX( Interpreting, Interpreting[Duration Hour Minute] )

    Hi Dougers1,

     

    You can create a measure as follows.

     

     

     

    total hours = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Hours]),FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Status] = "Substantive Filled"))

     

     

     

     

    Is this the result you expect?

     

    Best Regards,

    Yuliax
