Good afternoon
I'm transferring information to the power bi I have the opening and closing dates, it would be possible to show the elapsed time,
as in the format dd, hh:mm:ss , and in some cases the closing date is empty.
I use the following formula in excel I won't put it in the power bi.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,
The logic of your calculation seems to be that
when closing date is empty, elapsed time = current date - opening date.
When not empty, elapsed time = closing date - opening date.
Based on my understanding, here is the data I created from the sample you provided.
Please try the following code to create Calculated Column.
TIEMPO(dd, hh:mm:ss) =
VAR Sec = IF('Table'[FECHA CIERRE] = BLANK(),
DATEDIFF('Table'[FECHA APERTURA], TODAY(), SECOND),
DATEDIFF('Table'[FECHA APERTURA], 'Table'[FECHA CIERRE], SECOND)
)
VAR Days = INT(Sec / 86400)
VAR Hours = INT(MOD(Sec, 86400) / 3600)
VAR Minutes = INT(MOD(Sec, 3600) / 60)
VAR Remainder = MOD(Sec, 60)
RETURN FORMAT(Days, "00") & ", " & FORMAT(Hours, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Minutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Remainder, "00")
Result is as below.
Please correct me if I misunderstood your needs.
