Calculate time difference minutes or seconds

[Darwell]

 

So I have these two columns that are formatted as date / time.

When I use the datediff formule, it works for day and hour, but when I change to minute or second I get this message.

I am connecting via directquery.

Does anybody know are way i can get this information?

subtract the two values, multiply the result by 1440 or 86400

Hi @Darwell 

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin .

The error is saying that it is unable to convert a DAX query to a query against a data source. There are several possible reasons for this: 

• Complex data models
• Complex DAX used in measure or calculated columns
• Complex transformations created in the Power Query editor
