date/time difference between 2 columns if they have the same reference

Hi

 

I want to calculate the number of HH:MM between 2 columns - both have the same reference however the inbound has 1 and outbound has 0 and same reg too.

 

e.g.

 

Bound    Reg            Time                         Ref

1            ABC      03/02/2023 10:00       142536 

0            ABC      03/02/2023 12:30       142536 

 

 

The difference for reg: ABC  or Ref 142536 should be 02:30 (HH:MM)

 

Thanks.

hi @AI14 

Not sure if i fully get you, supposing your data is like:

you can plot a table with the ref column and a measure like:

Duration = 
VAR _reg = MAX(TableName[Reg])
VAR _time1 =
MAXX(
    FILTER(
        ALL(TableName),
        TableName[Reg] = _reg
    ),
    TableName[Time]
)
VAR _time2 =
MINX(
    FILTER(
        ALL(TableName),
        TableName[Reg] = _reg
    ),
    TableName[Time]
)
RETURN
FORMAT(_time2 - _time1, "h:mm")

 

it worked like:
