Create Hour from Text

Anonymous — Thu, 12 May 2022 12:50:16 GMT

Hi,

what I am trying to do is to create a new column (measure) that will calculate the differences between pick begin AND pick end. The result should be in minutes.

The format is like below:

pick begin	pick end	result
1145	1218	33
2110	2125	15
1907	1907	0
0710	0710	0
0321	0333	2
1621	1634	13
1334	1401	27
0135	0147	12
2336	2336	0

Anonymous Maybe this and make sure you set the Data type to Whole number:

result = (TIME(LEFT([pick end],2), RIGHT([pick end],2),0) - TIME(LEFT([pick begin],2), RIGHT([pick begin],2),0)) * 60 * 24

Hi,

Please check the below measure and the attached pbix file.

Result measure: = VAR _hourbegin = LEFT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[pick begin] ), 2 ) VAR _minbegin = RIGHT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[pick begin] ), 2 ) VAR _hourend = LEFT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[pick end] ), 2 ) VAR _minend = RIGHT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[pick end] ), 2 ) VAR _timebegin = _hourbegin * 60 + _minbegin VAR _timeend = _hourend * 60 + _minend RETURN _timeend - _timebegin

It's supposed to use PQ to conduct such a data shaping task.

let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Jc3BDcAwCAPAXXj3gTFJ2lmi7L9GY3iZkxHsbUAOewyB186zLQC/DsQo4/OlXiH7qr6izIBMsvdnGZPZ5h2u09H7oP45su8FOfVPcc4P", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"pick begin" = _t, #"pick end" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"pick begin", Int64.Type}, {"pick end", Int64.Type}}), TotalMinutes = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Total Minutes", each let begin=#time(Number.IntegerDivide([pick begin],100), Number.Mod([pick begin],100),0), end = #time(Number.IntegerDivide([pick end],100), Number.Mod([pick end],100),0) in Duration.TotalMinutes(end-begin) ) in TotalMinutes

Hi Anonymous
Here is a sample file with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/OmLvgOdd6iXtXTbt

For a calculated column

Result = VAR PickBegin = VALUE ( RIGHT ( Timing[ pick begin ], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( Timing[ pick begin ], 2 ) ) VAR PickEnd = VALUE ( RIGHT ( Timing[ pick end ], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( Timing[ pick end ], 2 ) ) RETURN PickEnd - PickBegin

For a measure

Result Measure = VAR PickBegin = SUMX ( Timing, VALUE ( RIGHT ( Timing[ pick begin ], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( Timing[ pick begin ], 2 ) ) ) VAR PickEnd = SUMX ( Timing, VALUE ( RIGHT ( Timing[ pick end ], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( Timing[ pick end ], 2 ) ) ) RETURN PickEnd - PickBegin

Thank you all for your reply. I am using ReportBuilder, testing in DaxStudio. Working on PowerBI DataSets.

And does not matter which of your solution I will choose I am receiving errors like:

"The result set of a query to external data source has exceeded the maximum allowed size"

DAX code:

DEFINE

MEASURE 'Pick Measures'[Time] =

VAR _hourbegin =
    LEFT ( SELECTEDVALUE (  'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin]), 2 )
VAR _minbegin =
    RIGHT ( SELECTEDVALUE (  'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin] ), 2 )
VAR _hourend =
    LEFT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end] ), 2 )
VAR _minend =
    RIGHT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end] ), 2 )
VAR _timebegin = _hourbegin * 60 + _minbegin
VAR _timeend = _hourend * 60 + _minend
RETURN
    _timeend - _timebegin

This is not my measure. You can also try by defining a new column as per the calculated column code that I've provided

DEFINE COLUMN 'Pick Order'[Column Result] = VAR PickBegin = VALUE ( RIGHT ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin], 2 ) ) VAR PickEnd = VALUE ( RIGHT ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end], 2 ) ) + 60 * VALUE ( LEFT ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end], 2 ) ) RETURN PickEnd - PickBegin EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS ( 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin], 'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end], 'Pick Order'[Column Result] )
