    Hi  Anonymous  ,

    You can use measure.

    The calculated column will not change according to the selection of the slicer.

    1. Create measure.

    SumTime_meausre =
VAR TotalSeconds =
    SUMX(
        'IT Productivity Measurements',
        HOUR( 'IT Productivity Measurements'[Time Spent] ) * 3600
            + MINUTE( 'IT Productivity Measurements'[Time Spent] ) * 60
            + SECOND( 'IT Productivity Measurements'[Time Spent] )
    )
VAR Days = TRUNC( TotalSeconds/3600/24)
VAR Hors = TRUNC( (TotalSeconds-Days*3600*24 )/3600 )
VAR Mins = TRUNC( MOD( TotalSeconds,3600 )/60 )
VAR Secs = MOD( TotalSeconds, 60 )
RETURN
IF(DAYS=0,"",IF(DAYS>1,DAYS&"days ",Days&"day"))&IF(Hors<10,"0"&Hors,Hors)&":"&IF(Mins<10,"0"&Mins,Mins)&":"&IF(Secs<10,"0"&Secs,Secs)

    2. Result：

Hey Anonymous ,

 

make sure the column you mention is in the format time:

 

Then you can use the solution from that post to calculate the duration:

SumTime =
VAR TotalSeconds =
    SUMX(
        'Table Name',
        HOUR( 'Table Name'[Column] ) * 3600
            + MINUTE( 'Table Name'[Column] ) * 60
            + SECOND( 'Table Name'[Column] )
    )
VAR Days = TRUNC( TotalSeconds/3600/24)
VAR Hors = TRUNC( (TotalSeconds-Days*3600*24 )/3600 )
VAR Mins = TRUNC( MOD( TotalSeconds,3600 )/60 )
VAR Secs = MOD( TotalSeconds, 60 )
RETURN
IF(DAYS=0,"",IF(DAYS>1,DAYS&"days ",Days&"day"))&IF(Hors<10,"0"&Hors,Hors)&":"&IF(Mins<10,"0"&Mins,Mins)&":"&IF(Secs<10,"0"&Secs,Secs)

 

If you need any help please let me know.

    Thank you both for the feedback.   I now have the following, which the totals don't change when selecting different technicians.
