Adding minutes to time in PowerBI

[rusty19]

Hello,

I am trying to create a meeting agenda in PowerBI and I have everything working but one thing – time!

In my table I have the duration in minutes that an item will have on the agenda.  What I wanted to show is if a meeting started at 1:30 for example, at what time should we be starting the next item for discussion (this is good to see if we are falling behind or ahead of schedule).

Example:

Start of meeting 1:30

ITEM                   Duration             TIME

Item 1                 5 min                   1:30 – 1:35

Item 2                 15 min                1:35 – 1:50

Item 3                 10 min                1:50 – 2:00

Item 4                 10 min                2:00 – 2:10

Item 5                 15 min                2:10 – 2:25

Item 6                 5 min                   2:25 – 2:30

Total time           60 min

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Hello, thank you for the quick response, but not working.  First of all, I can't seem to find the "New Calculation" function, so I tried it as a measure, but them got an error message:

RUNNINGSUM can only be used in the expression of a visual calculation.

My guess is that I did something wrong?

you must enable it in the settings

@rusty19 Try:

End Column = [Start] + [Duration]/24/60

Thank you - I saw your answer, but being a bit of a beginner, I don't understand it and not sure how to use it.  May I have more details please?
