    Hi Alanoudfahad ,

    Try the following formula to create measures:

    next_in/out = 
var next_time = 
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] > MAX('Table'[Time])
        ),
        'Table'[Time]
    )
var next_in_out = 
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[In/out]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] = next_time
        )
    )
return next_in_out
    Diff_time = 
var next_time = 
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Personnel ID] = MAX('Table'[Personnel ID]) && 'Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date])
            && 'Table'[Time] > MAX('Table'[Time])
        ),
        'Table'[Time]
    )
return next_time - MAX('Table'[Time])
    TotalTime = 
IF( 
    MAX('Table'[In/out]) = "IN" && [next_in/out] = "OUT",
    [Diff_time]
)

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Alanoudfahad , Try a new column like this

if( [In/OUT] = "OUT" , datediff(maxx(filter(Table, [In/OUT] = "IN" && [Datetime] < earlier([[Datetime]])),[Datetime]),[Datetime], hour), blank())

 

and then you can sum this up in measure

Hello amitchandak 
It gives me the following error:

Too many arguments were passed to the EARLIER function. The maximum argument count for the function is 2.

 

Any idea?

    Alanoudfahad , There is small correction in formula,

    Create a new column first 

    if( [In/OUT] = "OUT" , datediff(maxx(filter(Table, [In/OUT] = "IN" && [Datetime] < earlier([Datetime])),[Datetime]),[Datetime], hour), blank())

     

    Then create a new measure with it.
