    The other responses are good ways to do it in DAX after you've loaded the table, but if you want to do it in the query editor you can add a custom column with this formula

     

    =Duration.TotalHours([End Time (Military Time)] - [Start Time (Military Time)]) - [Personal Time Away During Shift (Hours)]

     

    If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

    MahoneyPat- Thank you!  This is what I was looking to accomplish.   Apologies to the others for not using the proper terminology (DAX vs M). 

     

    I appreciate everyones efforts. 😊
