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:   ...

    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 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
