Time field difference
I have the table below which includes two columns which are time fields.I want to add a column called Lost Time that subtracts the Actual_Duration_mins from the Comm_Duration_mins. What will the DAX be for this please as I didnt know if it was different if I was using time fields.
I am new to DAX so please bare with me
Thank you
Hello there spandy34 ! I figure that you are expecting a measure so here goes.
Hope this works for you:
Lost Time = DATEDIFF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Actual_Duration_mins] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Comm_Duration_mins] ), MINUTE )Hope this answer solves your problem!
If you need any additional help please @ me in your reply.

So I have the column below which is a which the format Time. I want to create another column that is a decimal of that so for example if the column says 0.30 I want the new column to display 0.5 as a decimal of an hour.
Can you help with the DAX for that please.
THank you goncalogeraldes
You can use the FORMAT() function:
New column = FORMAT ( Table[Comm_Duration_mins], "General Number" )Hope this answer solves your problem!

Gonçalo GeraldesWhat field type does my new column need to be as I get the following response as the new column is set to text?
I have done that and get an error "Cannot convert value '' of type Text to type Number."
