Hello,
I'm newbie here please let me know if i miss anything.
I want to calculate working time (minute) between 2 timestamps
but not count time if it not in working hour (9.00 - 18.00)
the data have both finish in same day and finish next day.
If Time A is over 18.00, not count and let start counting on next day till time B
or if Time A start before 9.00, not count and let start counting on 9.00 onward till time B
or if Time A and Time B are in different day, need it to count till 18.00 and break then start counting next day 9.00
Time A | Time B | Processing time (Min) |
27-06-22 16:32 | 28-06-22 9:28 | |
27-06-22 16:32 | 28-06-22 11:28 | |
27-06-22 16:32 | 28-06-22 0:35 | |
28-06-22 15:13 | 29-06-22 14:52 | |
30-06-22 11:48 | 30-06-22 14:10 | |
01-07-22 13:23 | 01-07-22 13:47 | |
01-07-22 18:11 | 01-07-22 15:47 |
I try to use IF and DATEDIFF function in many ways but still can't calculate it correctly
Very appreciate if someone can help
Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,
I suggest you to try this code to create a calcualted column.
Processing time (Min) =
VAR _DAYDIFF =
DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Time A], 'Table'[Time B], DAY )
VAR _REST_MIN = ( 6 + 9 ) * 60
VAR _STARTDATE =
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time A] ) < TIME ( 9, 0, 0 ),
DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time A] ) + TIME ( 9, 0, 0 ),
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time A] ) > TIME ( 18, 0, 0 ),
DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time A] ) + TIME ( 18, 0, 0 ),
'Table'[Time A]
)
)
VAR _ENDDATE =
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time B] ) < TIME ( 9, 0, 0 ),
DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time B] ) + TIME ( 9, 0, 0 ),
IF (
TIMEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time B] ) > TIME ( 18, 0, 0 ),
DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[Time B] ) + TIME ( 18, 0, 0 ),
'Table'[Time B]
)
)
VAR _PROCESSTIME1 =
DATEDIFF ( _STARTDATE, _ENDDATE, MINUTE )
RETURN
_PROCESSTIME1 - _REST_MIN * _DAYDIFF
Result is as below.
