Date/Time as Duration

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/33644.powerbi-aggregating-durationtime-in-dax.aspxI have tried multiple ways using the instructions provided, but still can not seem to get this to work. Here is an example using the instructions. I have tried multiple variations, including Extract data before/after in Power Query, to no avail. I've attached screen shots of the source and the PBI output.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
