SUM Time Field
Hi all,
Is it possible to SUM a Time field?
Below I have summed [Rest Time 2] but instead of correctly adding up the times it gives an incorrect time

Hey there. I find that when dealing with time, it's always best to use a decimal number for times, instead of actual times; especially when adding and subtracting. My advice would be to change your time column to type number, write the measure, and then change the measure display type to h:mm:ss or if the sum is over 24 hrs, [H]:mm:ss. Should work!
You cannot get the sum of the time value with Groupby() table because currentgroup() is referring to the current row instead of all(table).
Try use summarize():
Table = Summarize('Engage Timesheet Export', 'Engage Timesheet Export'[Worker Name], 'Engage Timesheet Export'[Week Ending], "Total Rest Time",Sumx(All('Engage Timesheet Export'),[Rest Time2]))Paul Zheng _ Community Support Team

I guess I misunderstood you requirement. I only see the incorrect sum time. You may add filters to set context.Table = Summarize('Engage Timesheet Export',
'Engage Timesheet Export'[Worker Name],
'Engage Timesheet Export'[Week Ending],
"Total Rest Time",Sumx(All('Engage Timesheet Export'),[Rest Time2]))Paul Zheng _ Community Support Team
