Sorry I am still new to Power BI
I have a column which is a duration. calculated from a Logon date/time colomn and a Logoff date/time column. (Logoff-Logon)
1. Is there a way that if there is no logoff value it will calculate to Now or today or a similar function.
2. I have added this to my visuals but would like this to have a hierachy like a date/time field, is there a way to achive this
some of the users have a duration in Days, some in Hours and some in Minuites so it would be great to be-able to dynamically change between these for the visuals
Below is a copy of the Data, PowerBI would not let me select a range to copy the datd so I had to provide it as an image
Solved! Go to Solution.
create a new column where you enter the logoff value and when empty then now()
= Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Custom", each if [LogOff] = null then DateTime.LocalNow() else [LogOff])
to format duration output you can use the following guide
Calculate Duration in Days Hours Minutes and Seconds Dynamically in Power BI using DAX - RADACAD
hope it helps
