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

    Anonymous,

    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]

    Regards,

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

        What is the format of time you're using?

         

        00:10:00 - means 10 min or sec?
