    Have no idea on what's you data like and what is the execpted output, based on my understanding, for a data as below, to get something as your stated, you can follow the steps.

     

    1. Click "Edit queries" and go to the query edit window.
    2. Right click on the query and duplicate the query.
    3. Group by the duplicated query and create a column based on the aggregated hours.
    4. Merge the Original query with the grouped by query.


    5. If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

I just tried your solution and as soon as I create a new column;

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns1", "Hours Worked", each Duration.TotalHours([FinishTime]-[StartTime]))

 

A warning comes up saying this step isnt supported in DirectQuery mode.

 

Any work around for this?
