    Hey,

    I'm not sure how the result should look like, but I'm sure that need the functions INT() and MOD(). Assuming that there are 21 hours INT(21/9) results to 2, the number of days. MOD(21,9) results to 3, the number of remaining hours.

    Here is the link to the MOD function: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/query-bi/dax/mod-function-dax

    You also have to consider to encapsulate both functions I mentioned above in the expression part of SUMX to get the correct result for totals.

    If you need more help, then provide sample data. Upload a file to onedrive or dropbox and share the link.

    Regards,

    Hi juan-botero,

     

    Based on your description, I made an sample here. At first, I created a measure to get the working hours.

     

     

    diffhours = DATEDIFF(MAX(Table2[start date]),MAX(Table2[end date]),HOUR)

     

    Then we can get working days by the formula as below.

     

    Measure1 = IF([diffhours]<9,"0 day" & [diffhours], INT([diffhours]/9) & " day(s) " & MOD([diffhours],9) &" hour(s)")

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attached. If it doesn't meet your requirement, kindly share you sample data or your pbix to me.
