Calculating time duration

Hi!

 

I have a data for employees where they check in and check out everytime they enter the building. I want to calculate the time duration per day (I have a date slicer)

For instance here I want to subtract 5:55pm from 7:59am to get 9hrs 56min total hours.

 

I appreciate any help!

Hi, @Alanoudfahad 

Please check the below picture and the measure.

Result =
VAR currentid =
MAX ( Data[ID] )
VAR currentdate =
MAX ( Data[Date] )
VAR minintime =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( Data[Time] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( Data ),
Data[ID] = currentid
&& Data[Date] = currentdate
&& Data[In/Out] = "In"
)
)
VAR maxouttime =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Data[Time] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( Data ),
Data[ID] = currentid
&& Data[Date] = currentdate
&& Data[In/Out] = "Out"
)
)
RETURN
maxouttime - minintime

@Alanoudfahad , Try a new column like

 

var _max = if([In/out] = "Out" , max(filter(Table, [Date] =earlier([Date]) && [Id] =earlier([ID]) && [In/out] ="In" && [Time] <earlier([Time])),[Time]), blank())
return
if([In/out] = "Out" && not(isblank(_max)) , datediff(_max, [Time], minute))/60

 

 

Ideally in place of time you should use date time column

 

date time  =[date]+[time]

Hi @amitchandak It gives me this error "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value." even after crreating date/time column
