Date/Time + Decimal number [number of hours] to get result in Date/Time

Hello,

 

I need to calculate the Starting date and time + period (in hours) to get the result in date/time.

My data setting is following:

 

Starting Date [Date/Time dd:mm:yyyy hh:nn:ssPeriod (Decimal number in hours)End date (Starting date + period)
1.1.202097??

 

I tried to conver the Period in Decimal numbers to Time format, but it doesn't work for higher values.

 

Thanks for help.

 

Petr

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can use the following measure:

 

 

End date =
VAR vday =
    INT ( MAX ( 'Table'[Period] ) / 24 )
VAR vSeconds =
    MOD ( MAX ( 'Table'[Period] ), 24 ) * 3600
VAR vMinutes =
    INT ( vSeconds / 60 )
VAR vRemainingSeconds =
    MOD ( vSeconds, 60 )
VAR vHours =
    INT ( vMinutes / 60 )
VAR vRemainingMinutes =
    MOD ( vMinutes, 60 )
RETURN
    MAX ( 'Table'[Starting Date] ) + vday
        + TIME ( vHours, vRemainingMinutes, vRemainingSeconds )

Try something like this:

End date = [Starting Date] + #duration(0, [Period], 0, 0)
