Multiplication with measure

Hi all,   I want to do a multiplication which looks like this:   TimeDifference * SpeedM/S   // TimeDifference =Max(Table1[TIME]) - MIN(Table1[TIME]) // TIME = a Calculated column SpeedM/S = ...
Need Help

    In your table, you have different SpeedM/S for different Stationary Objects. You would need to create a measure to calculate a average speed value, then calculate distance between objects.

    TimeDifference = MAX(Table1[time])-MIN(Table1[time])

    AverageSpeed = AVERAGE(Table1[SpeedM/S])

    OutputMeasure = [TimeDifference]*[AverageSpeed]

Hi Greg_Deckler,

 

I am sorry for the confusion, TimeDifference is a measure. What I meant in my post was that TimeDifference uses a Calculated column for its calculation.

 

SpeedM/S is a calculated column.

TimeDifference is a measure

 

what I want to achieve is to calculate the distance. by multiplying the time from TimeDifference with SpeedM/S

In such case:

 

measure = [timedifference] * sum(speedM/S)

    Hi bsas,

     

    This measure works but I am getting unexpected results from it.

     

    For example when the time difference is 0:05:00 the number that comes out of my measure is 0,50 while the speed in that difference was around 26 Meter per second.

     

    Am I doing something wrong ?

     

    The thing I am trying to achieve here is to know the distance covered in that time

      Could you please share sample of your data table.

        Hi bsas rcspaiva,

         

        TimeStationaryObjectSpeedMSMovingObject
        10:00:00A20X
        10:10:00C20X

         

        Timedifference represents the time between StationaryObject A and C for example. So in this case Timedifference would be 00:10:00. the expected outcome would be the distance traveled by the moving object between those points

         

        The column "Time" we see here is a calculated column which displays an average of when the MovingObject was at StationaryObject

         

        there is also a column with Speed in KMH "SpeedKMH" which is a normal column not a calculated one
