    Hi Anonymous,

    glad it worked out for you. For formatting the result, you may find these additional measures useful:

    DiffMinutes = QUOTIENT([Diff], 60)

DiffSeconds = [Diff] - [DiffMinutes] * 60

DiffMinSec = [DiffMinutes] & "." & FORMAT([DiffSeconds],"00")

    If all you need is the [DiffMinSec] you can fold it together as:

    DiffMinSec = QUOTIENT([Diff], 60) & "." & FORMAT([Diff] - QUOTIENT([Diff], 60) * 60,"00")

Try changing the line

FILTER(ALL('Events (3)'),

to

FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Events (3)'),

in your measure. What happens here is that the ALL() clears all filters on your event table no matter where they are coming from. ALLSELECTED however will clear the filters in your table but not the one in the slicer I see you have on the events table. So you most likely are getting the wrong result beacuse the measure will "see" ALL events in the table, not just the ones you have selected with the slicer.

 

Let me know if this solves the problem.

Hi erik_tarnvik

Thanks, I am getting the result now. But there is just one more thing, Is it Possible to get the exact time difference with Minutes and seconds(m.s) for eg. 4.50 where 4 is minute and 50 is seconds both of which is derived from the difference in date times.

 

Thanks,

Ravi Shankar D
