Hi All,
I have these two-time columns and I want to calculate the total hour's difference In the new custom column.
I took the difference but values are coming in minus. pls, help me to fix this.
i also need to take the difference of hours spent- required hours (9.6). could u tell me how to do this?
my table name here is timesheet.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@raimon thanks for the help. It's working fine. could you tell me what changes I have to make to get the output like this 9.6, 10.12, 10.30 as hours difference, currently I am getting a whole number.
Hi , @RAKESH1986
You can try to use this M code:
Duration.Hours([Time Out]-[Time in])+ Duration.Minutes([Time Out]-[Time in])/60
The result is as follows:
Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi @RAKESH1986,
while calculating the difference add this function which will convert it into hours -
Duration.Hours([Time Out]-[Time In])
See below for reference -
