Hi
i am having issues with trying to get hours counted, i want it to return Substantive Filled total hours
| Month | Status | Hours |
| Oct | Substantive Filled | 01:00:00 |
| Oct | Filled | 01:00:00 |
| Oct | Filled | 01:01:00 |
| Oct | Substantive Filled | 02:00:00 |
my hourscolumn is formatted as below
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @Dougers1 ,
create the measure below. Replace"TimeCalc" with your table name.
total time (hours and mins) =
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(TimeCalc[Status]) ="Substantive Filled",
FORMAT( SUM(TimeCalc[Hours]),"HH:MM"),
blank()
)
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please provide a sample output.
Hi @Dougers1,
You can create a measure as follows.
total hours = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Hours]),FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Status] = "Substantive Filled"))
Is this the result you expect?
Best Regards,
Yuliax

HI @Dougers1 ,

this is bringing me back wrong sum - its saying person A has worked 6hr 35 mins for oct - thats not correct answer should be 116hrs:15 mins
i added this but it not adding them up correct sometimes it is but other times it saying 32 hrs when it only 8
The VAR result is adding hour and minutes as integer value, not a time value to which works display it in hh:mm format
Would you be able to share the pbix/raw data masking sensitive information?
