datediff in HH:MM format
Hi, I have two columns: 1. Start time 2. End time. I want to know the duration of time between the two columns in hour and minute format (HH:MM) Then I want to display their summary on the "...
Create a calculated column that for each row will store the number of seconds between the two dates. Then take the measure I've shown you and operate on the SUM of the column. So, you should create a measure like [Total Seconds] = SUM ( T[Seconds] ) and then use its value in my measure replacing the part which is responsible for calculating the seconds...

Duration HH:MM:SS =
// We start with a duration in number of seconds
VAR Duration = DATEDIFF( 'Table'[StartDate], 'Table'[EndDate], SECOND )
// There are 3,600 seconds in an hour
VAR Hours =
INT ( Duration / 3600)
// There are 60 seconds in a minute
VAR Minutes =
INT ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ) / 60)
// Remaining seconds are the remainder of the seconds divided by 60 after subtracting out the hours
VAR Seconds =
ROUNDUP(MOD ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ), 60 ),0) // We round up here to get a whole number
// These intermediate variables ensure that we have leading zero's concatenated onto single digits
// Hours with leading zeros
VAR H =
IF ( LEN ( Hours ) = 1,
CONCATENATE ( "0", Hours ),
CONCATENATE ( "", Hours )
)
// Minutes with leading zeros
VAR M =
IF (
LEN ( Minutes ) = 1,
CONCATENATE ( "0", Minutes ),
CONCATENATE ( "", Minutes )
)
// Seconds with leading zeros
VAR S =
IF (
LEN ( Seconds ) = 1,
CONCATENATE ( "0", Seconds ),
CONCATENATE ( "", Seconds )
)
// Now return hours, minutes and seconds with leading zeros in the proper format "hh:mm:ss"
RETURN
CONCATENATE (
H,
CONCATENATE ( ":", CONCATENATE ( M, CONCATENATE ( ":", S ) ) )
