Hi @AtchayaP
Ensure [Time created] and [Time closed] columns are both of Time data type, then you can create a new column with below DAX. This returns spent time in seconds for every row.
Time in Second = DATEDIFF('Table'[Time created],'Table'[Time closed],SECOND)
Then create a measure to calculate the total of time spent. I format it to show result like "xx h xx m xx s".
Time Spent =
VAR _totalSeconds = SUM('Table'[Time in Second])
VAR _hours = INT(_totalSeconds/3600)
VAR _minutes = INT(MOD(_totalSeconds,3600)/60)
VAR _seconds = MOD(MOD(_totalSeconds,3600),60)
RETURN
_hours&"h"&_minutes&"m"&_seconds&"s"
If you drag [Time in Second] column into a card visual directly and select SUM aggregation type for it, it will show the total time spent in seconds. It equals to above result.

Hello:
You can solve this in Power Query:
Add new column > custom column > enter this formula: Duration.TotalSeconds([End Time]-[Start Time])
This will return result in total difference in seconds.
For difference in minutes this is the formula: Duration.TotalMinutes([End Time]-[Start Time])
Convert data type to decimal as the answer first ocomes out as text.
I got 10457854:14:00 in card visual.should I format this?
