Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to calculate accurate Hours from two different shift. When I applied datediff fiction on the column it shows 7.5 hours instead of 7.6 hours. Please refer attached.

    Hi,  Anonymous 

    The result obtained by the DATEDIFF function is an integer, and it does not contain the decimal part. You can consider counting the result in minutes and dividing by 60

    Please change your formula as follows:

     

    Shift Worked1 =
DATEDIFF (
    'Logistics Shift Work'[Start Time],
    'Logistics Shift Work'[End Time],
    MINUTE
) / 60 - 'Logistics Shift Work'[Break Time]
