ROUNDDOWN TIME

[carlosagarcia]

Hello guys,

I am looking at using the ROUNDDOWN function.

I want to ROUNDDOWN time in all transactions made in a specific hours throughout the day. Say there were 15 transactions between 9 am and 10 am.. 9:01:02am, 9:10:05am, 9:12:52am etc.. All rounddown to 9:00:00am or 9:00am so I can measure day by the hour.

I have tried

= ROUNDDOWN(Query[TIME], 1) which messes up the result

= ROUNDDOWN(Query[TIME], "1:00") which gives me an error, cannot convert value

The time is in H:mm:ss

Hi @carlosagarcia 

Try this

=MROUND( [Time], 1/8 )

Hi @carlosagarcia 

You could find more explaination and examples about the "round up" for time below.

But, in your scenario, you could take a easy way as below:

Column = TIME(HOUR([time]),0,0)

Try creating a new column with the following measure

=MROUND( [Time], "0:15" ) 

But make sure that the new column data type is Time.

It partially works but anything done after 9:45AM rounds up to 10AM.
