help with formula to calculate time

Dougers1 — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 16:20:11 GMT

i am having issues with trying to get hours counted, i want it to return Substantive Filled total hours

my hourscolumn is formatted as below

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.

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?

i added this but it not adding them up correct sometimes it is but other times it saying 32 hrs when it only 8

Duration Hour Minute =

//Find hour of time

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] )

but it bringing back differnt sums??

The VAR result is adding hour and minutes as integer value, not a time value to which works display it in hh:mm format
