Hi @Anonymous ,

 

We can create a calculated column to meet your requirement:

 

StartHour = 
[DateTime]
    - DIVIDE ( MINUTE ( [DateTime] ), 60 * 24, 0 )
    - DIVIDE ( SECOND ( [DateTime] ), 3600 * 24, 0 )

Solved

StartHour =
MROUND(
([Data_Hora]
- DIVIDE ( MINUTE ( [Data_Hora] ); 60 * 24; 0 )
- DIVIDE ( SECOND ( [Data_Hora] ); 3600 * 24; 0 )); TIME ( 1; 0; 0 ) ) + TIME ( 0; 0; 0 )

It is because time is not only in seconds.

Is it possible to round the date to seconds?

One more thing you do that with new mesure or new column?

I only can do it with a new column, but i noticed when i try to count all values they give me wrong results

I have values ​​in the order of tens and should have in the thousands.

Try to use relationships with the calendar, but get the same results.

Thank you
