Good Afternoon,
I am currently looking for a solution to get the duration between two Date-Time value.
The issue is that I have to handle positivie and negative hour like in these 3 different scenarios :
Here an exemple of the 3 scenarios.
Activity Type Start time End time
Drive | 20-10-21 00:06 | 20-10-21 00:11 |
Time correction | 20-10-21 01:10 | 20-10-21 00:06 |
Drive | 20-10-21 23:06 | 21-10-21 00:22 |
Do you know how I can have the duration in hh:mm:ss of each activity ?
Thank's in advance,
Don
Solved! Go to Solution.
@DonPepe Just subtract them then turn that into seconds and then you can use Chelsie Eiden's duration.
Column = ([Start] - [End]) * 1. * 24 * 60 * 60

Simple enough to handle it in PQ,
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcinKLEtV0lEyMtA1NNA1MlQwMLAyMEMTMDRUitWJVgrJzE1VSM4vKkpNLsnMzzu0AEWZoZWhAaZBIH1gO1BVGxlDbTFCqDYyUoqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Activity Type" = _t, #"Start time" = _t, #"End time" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Activity Type", type text}, {"Start time", type datetime}, {"End time", type datetime}}, "fr"),
Dur = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Duration", each let dur = List.Max({[End time]-[Start time], [Start time]-[End time]}) in Text.Format("#{0}h : #{1}m : #{2}s", {Number.RoundDown(Duration.TotalHours(dur)), Duration.Minutes(dur), Duration.Seconds(dur)}))
in
Dur
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
Hi @CNENFRNL,
Thanks a lot, I tried in Power query and it works but I was loking for a DAX solution.
