The first thing to do is to get the time worked in each row (a time_worked column). I would probably do this in Power Query but you can use DATEDIFF (and from , to have to be datetime type) if you want to do it in DAX.

You should be able to create a visual with id and name, and sum the new Time_worked column.

If you want a separate calculated table, you can use SUMMARIZECOLUMNS

The total is the column where it has time worked in the each row , when i am creating a visual , the total time worked by worker is showing correctly , but when i am selecting average instead of sum , it averages the total based on time entry , but here total time entries needs to by grouped by jira and average of that is needed

Yes, I saw the column but it was 1 all the way. It didn't look right.

If you repost the data (not a picture) and show me what the desired output is, I'll have a go

I'm confused. I put the 2 fields in a table, selected average for the Total field and it gets the required result.

What am I missing?

(also why is the Total field a rowcount - so that makes it different from the original posted picture where it's all 1 and it's not total time either - which is 10 minutes on each row)?

I didn't use any DAX. Just added the fields to a table visual and changed the aggregation on Total to be average

Or a simple average measure should work. The table visual will automatically group by the included columns like Name and Jira, although they are the same in this sample.

Measure = AVERAGE([total])
