    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]
)

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
