Sum up the time format
- 8 years ago
Anonymous,
I was not able to reproduce your issue where you were unable to use your measure in the Value Field.
Please review what I did do to see if this is a possible solution for you.
Edit - added new picture: The above screen capture shows the final Custom Column Added in the Query Editor, below is the Query Settings for the Add Column Custom Column 'Time Spent' that produces the above image.
Edit - Close & Apply returns you to Power BI where I added a different Time Format to 'Time Spent' to more align with what you had in your original post. See below.
Now you can do a SUM( ) measure of 'Time Spent' which I called Duration, also show below.
The Measure First New Duration was what I achieved with your code. However, I could not get what I believed you desired.
SpoilerNew Duration = VAR TotalSeconds=SUMX(Table2,HOUR(Table2[Time Spent])*3600+MINUTE(Table2[Time Spent])*60+SECOND(Table2[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)
Result Visuals:
Oh, I wasn't able to create a leading zero on the hour, but I was testing what adding 12 hours to John on Day 1 and what the display would look like.
try step by step everything that they indicate but I just went around in circles I need to do something as simple as adding the hours

It looks like you're having Data Type problems.
Add a custom column as:
= [Hora_Final] - [Hora_Inicio]
Change the Data Type to 'Duration'
Close & Apply.
Change the Data type in Power BI to Time and Format as 13:30:55 (H:mm:ss); this would be if you needed to format the calculated column
Create a measure (Format as above for the measure):
Measure = SUM(Reposiciones[Custom])
Results as:

Hello!!
I've been trying to use your solution, and followed all the steps exactly the same. And it works perfectly with a short amount of data:But whenever i try using a more large amount of data it doesnt summarize correctly. do you have any idea on why it behaves like this?

My guess is because the format is 'hh:mm:ss' and a sum greater than 24 ('hh') cannot be displayed correctly. I believe most people would just convert to decimal hours. I have not seen a good (they work; it is just a pretty involved formula) solution for formatting as 00:00:00:00 where it represents dd:hh:mm:ss.
