I have the following measure and I need the output in the format of 'DATETIME', even though I tried many changes (I even tried to use a column instead of a measure, so that I could easier change the format, but the calculation doesn't work as expected when in a column) it didn't work.
I need this calculation in 'DATETIME' and I don't even understand which kind of format this output is (maybe duration?).
Any hints?
Main output to be yield
Measure used by the main measure

Hi @-Ozym4nd1az- ,
Would you please try to remove format function in your measure, and change the data format for the measure:
Max. response time =
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Incident Data'[Priority] ),
'Incident Data'[Priority] == "4 - Low"
),
[Next business day measure] + TIME ( 2, 0, 0 ),
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Incident Data'[Priority] ),
'Incident Data'[Priority] == "3 - Medium"
),
[Next business day measure] + TIME ( 1, 0, 0 ),
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Incident Data'[Priority] ),
'Incident Data'[Priority] == "2 - High"
),
[Next business day measure] + TIME ( 0, 30, 0 ),
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Incident Data'[Priority] ),
'Incident Data'[Priority] == "1 - Very High"
),
[Next business day measure] + TIME ( 0, 15, 0 ),
0
)
)
)
)

@-Ozym4nd1az- , Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? and the formula is a text format.

@-Ozym4nd1az- - Maybe try the technique in Chelsea Eiden's Duration. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Chelsie-Eiden-s-Duration/m-p/793639#M389
Can you just change the data type to Date Time?
I have used this technique for other kind of stuff. The problem here is that I just don't have hours, but date as well is it counting as duration as well? Unfortunately, I cannot change the data type to Date Time, because it is not a calculated column. I already tried to transfer the measure to a column but it gives me some error that are difficult to overcome.
