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 = Divide(Table1[SpeedKM/H];3,6)

 

Thanks in advance !

@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,
Lydia

What is the format of time you're using?

 

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

Hi @bsas,

 

I am using H:mm:ss

@Anonymous

 

try to use calculated column for time:

time1 = MINUTE('time and speed'[time])*60 + SECOND('time and speed'[time])

than use it in measure.

Hi @bsas,

 

I am sorry in which measure did you want me to use it ?

 

This is how I turned minutes from your "time" into seconds as number.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Try to use Value(timedif)*value(speed). In case it does not work vecouse of formats, please draw your table with few test data.
