    Hi ESS ,

     

    I think you want to calculate the difference between two dates. You can try DATEDIFF() function in the DAX.

    Column =
DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[taglio_data_ora_fine], 'Table'[taglio_data_ora_inizio], SECOND )

    Best Regards,

You can read more about the Duration functions here, but the short answer is that Duration.Seconds returns the seconds portion of any duration between two dates. 

 

You'll likely want to use Duration.TotalSeconds([taglio_data_ora_fine]-[taglio_data_ora_inizio]) to get the total number of seconds between the timestamps.
