Hi @Neha_Shukla ,

 

I added a few rows of date and Emp columns to your original table.

1.Merge Complete Date and ActivityTime columns, Modify the date type to Datetime. Then sort directly.

DateTime =
CONVERT ( 'Table'[Complete Date] & " " & 'Table'[ActivityTime], DATETIME )

2.Create a measure and group by max and min. Change the format.

Total working hours =
VAR _min =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[DateTime] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Emp] = MAX ( 'Table'[Emp] ) )
    )
VAR _max =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[DateTime] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Emp] = MAX ( 'Table'[Emp] ) )
    )
RETURN
    _max - _min
