    Hi HenryJS ,

     

    You could use Time.Hour() in query editor.

    if [Start]>[End] then
24-Time.Hour([Start])+Time.Hour([End])
else Time.Hour([End])-Time.Hour([Start])

    Here is the result.

    Hi HenryJS ,

     

    Does that make sense? If so kindly mark my answer as a solution to close the case. Thanks in advance.

HenryJS , That is what your initial formula was doing ? was it a measure or column?

    amitchandak parry2k I have two columns 'Start' and 'End' both 'Time' data type.

     

    I need a new column which calculates the hours difference between the start and end times.

     

    Is this possible?

      HenryJS we already gave you a solution, why you are asking the same question. Can you add a new column based on the expression I posted.

       

      Your existing column has a time format because your original calculation was [Start] - [End] which returned time.

       

      I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
