    Hi HenryJS,

    Perhaps you can try to convert your time value to total second(numeric) then you can simply use math operator to calculate on converted values.

    For duration and time value transform, you can take a look at the following blog:

    Aggregating Duration Time

HenryJS , if data type is time

 Time diff = [time1] -[time2] //diff in time

diff = datediff([time1] ,[time2],hour) // hour ,min or sec etc

    Hi HenryJS 

    Assuming FF Hours 2 is your end time and Engage Hours per day 2 is your start time, try this

     

    =Table1[FF Hours 2]-Table1[Engage Hours per day 2]
