Calculate Duration from date time fields
Hi, yaman123
You can try the following methods.
1. First convert all intervals to seconds.
Seconds = DATEDIFF ( [Start time], [End time], SECOND )2. Then convert the seconds to hour-minute-second format.
Duration = INT ( [Seconds] / 3600 ) & ":" & INT ( ( [Seconds] - INT ( [Seconds] / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ) & ":" & [Seconds] - INT ( ( [Seconds] - INT ( [Seconds] / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ) * 60 - INT ( [Seconds] / 3600 ) * 3600Best Regards,

In excel, all I need to do is subract the end date/time from the start date/time and format as [h]:mm to get hours and minutes. This code is how I have to do that calculation is LESS sophisticated applications, which is annoying. WHY would the mature calculation be removed from the newer tool set?
Also, this will yield a string so I cannot math it further... Is this really the only answer
Thanks, that does give me the reuslts I want but can it be formatted to Time so I can take the Average Time?
Hi, yaman123
Power BI does not allow converting more than 24 hours to time. Maybe you can get the average from seconds and convert to time format.
