Hi everyone, this is my first post
i'm currently working on Power Bi for some simple reports that i need, im manipulating dates.
the problem is: i have a Initial date, but from that date i need to sum a time that can be minutes to a lots of hours, and the work hours of one day is 7:30 A.M to 17:30 P.M. The weekend and holidays must be validated also.
i read some post in community.powerbi , with the calendar + holidays table, but i can solve my problem at all, ths is the post i read https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Add-working-days-to-a-date/td-p/146945
An example may be:
InitialDate WorkHours FinalDate
12/4/2018 17:20:00 P.M 7:50:00 12/5/2018 15:10:00 P.M
then, i have this problem, can you help me with this? thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous,
You can try to use following calculate column formula to calculate end date based on 'initial date' and 'work hours':
EndDate =
VAR _todayRemain =
TIME ( 17, 30, 00 )
- MAX (
TIME ( 7, 30, 00 ),
MIN ( TIME ( 17, 30, 00 ), TIMEVALUE ( [InitialDate] ) )
)
VAR _totalWorkhours =
IF (
WEEKDAY ( [InitialDate], 2 ) <= 5,
[Work Hours] - _todayRemain,
[Work Hours]
)
VAR _workDays =
IF (
_totalWorkhours > 0,
INT ( _totalWorkhours / 10 )
+ IF ( MOD ( _totalWorkhours, 10 ) > 0, 1, 0 ),
0
)
VAR _remaintime =
_totalWorkhours
- INT ( _totalWorkhours / 10 )
* _totalWorkhours
VAR _holidayoffset =
IF ( WEEKDAY ( [InitialDate], 2 ) >= 5, 7 - WEEKDAY ( [InitialDate], 2 ), 0 )
RETURN
DATEVALUE ( [InitialDate] ) + _holidayoffset
+ _workDays
+ TIME ( 7, 30, 0 )
+ _remaintime

How can I add 25 hours of working time to that? I tried using the value '25' in space [Work Hours] but didn't work. Also tried Time(25, 00, 00) but none of them made it ok.
Example: 28/07/2023 16:23:55 -> 02/08/2023 10:59:55
Any help?

What is your data source? Is it import or DirectQuery?
is and excel sheet, a column names "FechaInicial" and "TiempoHabil" is given to me to do the calculation
