Create Hour from Text

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

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

EVALUATE
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (

    'Pick DC'[PDC Number],
    'Pick Date'[PD Date],
    'Pick Order'[PICK Order number],
    'Pick Order'[PICK Order pickgroup],
    'Sales Order'[SO Order Number],
    'Material'[MAT Temperature Zone Description],
     'Material'[MAT Business ID],
    'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick begin],
    'Pick Order'[PICK Time pick end],
    'Employee'[EMPL Name],
    FILTER (
        VALUES ( 'Pick DC'[PDC Country] ),
        'Pick DC'[PDC Country] = "USA"
    ),
    FILTER (
        VALUES ( 'Pick DC'[PDC Number] ),
        'Pick DC'[PDC Number] <> 100
    ),
    FILTER (
        'Pick Date',
        'Pick Date'[PD Date]
            = TODAY () - 1
    ),
    
    "Picked Quantity", [Picked Quantity],
    "Picked Net Weight (Kg)", [Picked Net Weight (Kg)],
    "Picked Gross Weight (Kg)", [Picked Gross Weight (Kg)],
    "Time",'Pick Measures'[Time]

)
