Calculate Time Between

Hi all,

 

I have a column 'Rest Time' shown below which calculate the time between the start on one day and the end time on the previous day.

 

How can I change this column to calculate the time difference between the end time on one day and the start time on the next day?

Rest Time = 

VAR CT = COUNTROWS(filter('Engage Timesheet Export', [Timesheet ID] =earlier([Timesheet ID]) && [Date]<earlier([date])))

RETURN IF(CT = 0 , 0 , maxx(filter('Engage Timesheet Export', [Timesheet ID] =earlier([Timesheet ID]) && [Date]<earlier([date])),[End time]) -[start time])

@HenryJS, try this:

 

Rest = 
VAR vTimesheet =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Timesheet ID] )
VAR vMaxDate =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vMaxEndTime =
    MAX ( Timesheet[End Time] )
VAR vFutureDates =
    FILTER ( ALL ( Timesheet ), Timesheet[Timesheet ID] = vTimesheet && Timesheet[Date] > vMaxDate )
VAR vMinFutureDate =
    MINX ( vFutureDates, Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vFutureDate =
    FILTER ( vFutureDates, Timesheet[Date] = vMinFutureDate )
VAR vFutureStartTime =
    MINX ( vFutureDate, Timesheet[Start Tme] )
VAR vResult = 24 - vMaxEndTime + vFutureStartTime
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( vFutureStartTime ), BLANK(), vResult )

Hi @HenryJS ,

According to my understand, you could use the following formula after adding a Index column :

Rest Time =
VAR _previous =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Start] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Index] = MAX ( 'Table'[Index] ) + 1 )
    )
VAR TotalSeconds =
    24 * 3600
        - HOUR ( MAX ( 'Table'[End] ) ) * 3600
        + MINUTE ( MAX ( 'Table'[End] ) ) * 60
        + SECOND ( MAX ( 'Table'[End] ) )
        + HOUR ( _previous ) * 3600
        + MINUTE ( _previous ) * 60
        + SECOND ( _previous )
VAR Days =
    TRUNC ( TotalSeconds / 3600 / 24 )
VAR Hors =
    TRUNC ( ( TotalSeconds - Days * 3600 * 24 ) / 3600 )
VAR Mins =
    TRUNC ( MOD ( TotalSeconds, 3600 ) / 60 )
VAR Secs =
    MOD ( TotalSeconds, 60 )
RETURN
    IF ( DAYS = 0, "", IF ( DAYS > 1, DAYS & "days ", Days & "day" ) )
        & IF ( Hors < 10, "0" & Hors, Hors ) & "h"
        & IF ( Mins < 10, "0" & Mins, Mins ) & "m"
        & IF ( Secs < 10, "0" & Secs, Secs ) & "s"

My visualization looks like this:

@HenryJS, try this measure:

 

Rest = 
VAR vTimesheet =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Timesheet ID] )
VAR vMaxDate =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vMaxStartTime =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Start Tme] )
VAR vPrevDates =
    FILTER ( ALL ( Timesheet ), Timesheet[Timesheet ID] = vTimesheet && Timesheet[Date] < vMaxDate )
VAR vMaxPrevDate =
    MAXX ( vPrevDates, Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vPrevDate =
    FILTER ( vPrevDates, Timesheet[Date] = vMaxPrevDate )
VAR vPrevEndTime =
    MAXX ( vPrevDate, Timesheet[End Time] )
VAR vResult = 24 - vPrevEndTime + vMaxStartTime
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( vPrevEndTime ), BLANK(), vResult )

@DataInsights  Hi,

 

Is it possible to switch the rest time so it is calculating the time between End time on 14/09 and Start time on 15/09.

 

So rest time on 14/09 on your image below, would be 15:00:00

 

thanks,

@HenryJS, try this:

 

Rest = 
VAR vTimesheet =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Timesheet ID] )
VAR vMaxDate =
    MAX ( Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vMaxEndTime =
    MAX ( Timesheet[End Time] )
VAR vFutureDates =
    FILTER ( ALL ( Timesheet ), Timesheet[Timesheet ID] = vTimesheet && Timesheet[Date] > vMaxDate )
VAR vMinFutureDate =
    MINX ( vFutureDates, Timesheet[Date] )
VAR vFutureDate =
    FILTER ( vFutureDates, Timesheet[Date] = vMinFutureDate )
VAR vFutureStartTime =
    MINX ( vFutureDate, Timesheet[Start Tme] )
VAR vResult = 24 - vMaxEndTime + vFutureStartTime
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( vFutureStartTime ), BLANK(), vResult )
