    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,

    Herbert

Hello Herbert,

 

I need a little help here again.

 

I tried to solve it but I couldn't find an solution.

 

As you can see on the picture bellow, the calculation between two dates is correclty just when the date is different. But when the difference is just between hours the result is the DateTimFrom column - FirstDayEndTime Column.

 

For example:

03/01/2016 10:50:42  = 7,155 - but the result should be 2,046
