Sum of Duration in hours

[micpete]

Hello,

I need some help, I have data from a SQL that gives me total hours (up to 24), I have worked out some of hours by using measure, 

CALCULATE(SUM(table)), this gives me sum of hours however total sums can be over 24 hours - I tried coverting to duration which gives me over 24 hours but it then converts mins into decimal instead of time, e.g. 25.90 which is 25 hours and 90 mins, but I want that to be duration i.e. if it's 25 hours and 90 mins then I prefer that to be 26 hrs and 30 mins - which would be sum of duration. How do I do this?

Hi @micpete ,

One approach to do this is first converting everyting into minutes, then do the sum, then convert back into hours and minutes. Unfortunately working with durations in DAX is not as convenient as in PowerQuery.

Calcualted column:

TimeMinutes = [hours]*60+[minutes]

Measures:

TotalDuration = SUM(table[TimeMinutes])

TotalHours = INT(DIVIDE([TotalDuration],60))

TotalMinutes = [TotalDuration]-[TotalHours]*60

Kind regards,

Martin
