    The only possibility I can think of is that there is something wrong with the Calendar'[WorkDay] formula. Could you please check this column formula is like below? The data type of this column should be “True/False”.

    If it is actually same as mine, could you please upload your .pbix file to OneDrive and share it with me? In that case I can take a look at your .pbix file and try to solve the problem.

    How about the result if we update the “FirstDaySecDiff” measure as below?

     

    FirstDaySecDiff = 
IF (
    Table1[FirstDayEndTime] >= Table1[DateTimeFrom]
        && Table1[FirstDayEndTime] <= Table1[DateTimeTo],
    DATEDIFF ( Table1[DateTimeFrom], Table1[FirstDayEndTime], SECOND ),
    IF (
        Table1[FirstDayEndTime] >= Table1[DateTimeFrom]
            && Table1[FirstDayEndTime] > Table1[DateTimeTo],
        DATEDIFF ( Table1[DateTimeFrom], Table1[DateTimeTo], SECOND ),
        0
    )
)

     

    Best Regards,

I have been working with this code, but is possible agree a new column to limit the TimeFrom date, and it can considering to the final result in hours

For example:

 

TimeFromTimeTo
01/01/2018 07:0001/01/2018 10:00

 

My Result is 3 hours, but it should be 2 hours, considering the business hours in the day 08:00 am to 18:00 pm, May be I must agree a column like the LastDayStartTime, but using the First Star Time.

 

Some Insight?

 

Thanks!
