Time And Date In Power BI Desktop

I wanted to create a calculated column that returns the total working hours based on the starting Date.The result of my calculated

column should be [9,4:30,13].

i.e B worked for 9 hours on 6-4-2020

4:30 hours on 7-4-2020

13 hours on 8-4-2020.

Another Calculated Column for Salary If working from 8 am to 5pm each hour we pay a different salary (say 100 per hour).

Similarly while working from 5.01 pm to 7:59 am a different amount should be paid for each hour(say 200 per hour).

Thus the Result of this calculated column should be

on 6-4-2020 it is 1050(from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm it is 750 and from 5:00pm to 6:30 pm it is 300)

on 7-4-2020 it is 900 (from 7:30 pm to 12:00 am it is 900)

on 8-4-2020 it is 1850 (from 12:00 am to 4:00 am it is 800 and again from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm it is 1050)

Employee	StartDate and Time	End Date And Time
b	06-04-2020 09:30:00	06-04-2020 18:30:00
b	07-04-2020 19:30:00	08-04-2020 04:00:00
b	08-04-2020 09:30:00	08-04-2020 18:30:00

kindly help me out with dax calculation for the required two calculated columns.

Hi Dharani_98 ,

I create a Measure, not a Calculated Column. Please check:

1. Create [StartDate] column.

StartDate = DATEVALUE('Table'[StartDate and Time])

2. Create a Calendar table.

Calendar = 
CALENDAR (
    MINX ( 'Table', DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ) ),
    MAXX ( 'Table', DATEVALUE ( 'Table'[End Date And Time] ) )
)

3. Create relationship.

4. Create [Rank_] measure.

Rank_ =
RANKX (
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate] ) ),
    ,
    ASC,
    DENSE
)

5. Create [Salary Measure].

Salary Measure = 
VAR LastRank = [Rank_] - 1
VAR LastStartDateTime =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Rank_] = LastRank )
    )
VAR LastEndDateTime =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[End Date And Time] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Rank_] = LastRank )
    )
VAR LastDateDiff =
    DATEDIFF ( LastStartDateTime, LastEndDateTime, DAY )
VAR ThisDateDiff =
    DATEDIFF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ),
        MAX ( 'Table'[End Date And Time] ),
        DAY
    )
VAR StartDateTime =
    IF (
        LastDateDiff = 1,
        CONVERT (
            DATEVALUE ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ) ) & " "
                & TIME ( 0, 0, 0 ),
            DATETIME
        ),
        MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] )
    )
VAR EndDateTime =
    IF (
        ThisDateDiff = 1,
        CONVERT (
            DATEVALUE ( MAX ( 'Table'[End Date And Time] ) ) & " "
                & TIME ( 0, 0, 0 ),
            DATETIME
        ),
        MAX ( 'Table'[End Date And Time] )
    )
VAR SpecifiedStartTime =
    CONVERT (
        DATEVALUE ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ) ) & " "
            & TIME ( 8, 0, 0 ),
        DATETIME
    )
VAR SpecifiedEndTime =
    CONVERT (
        DATEVALUE ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ) ) & " "
            & TIME ( 17, 0, 0 ),
        DATETIME
    )
VAR Result =
    IF (
        LastDateDiff = 1,
        IF (
            EndDateTime > SpecifiedStartTime
                && EndDateTime <= SpecifiedEndTime,
            DATEDIFF ( StartDateTime, LastEndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 200
                + DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ), EndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 100,
            IF (
                EndDateTime > SpecifiedEndTime,
                DATEDIFF ( StartDateTime, LastEndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 200
                    + DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[StartDate and Time] ), SpecifiedEndTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 100
                    + DATEDIFF ( SpecifiedEndTime, EndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 200
            )
        ),
        IF (
            LastDateDiff <> 1,
            IF (
                StartDateTime >= SpecifiedStartTime
                    && EndDateTime <= SpecifiedEndTime,
                DATEDIFF ( StartDateTime, EndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 100,
                IF (
                    StartDateTime >= SpecifiedStartTime
                        && StartDateTime < SpecifiedEndTime
                        && EndDateTime > SpecifiedEndTime,
                    DATEDIFF ( StartDateTime, SpecifiedEndTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 100
                        + DATEDIFF ( SpecifiedEndTime, EndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 200,
                    IF (
                        StartDateTime >= SpecifiedEndTime,
                        DATEDIFF ( StartDateTime, EndDateTime, MINUTE ) / 60 * 200
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    )
RETURN
    Result

6. Create a table visual.

Well, in general you will use DATEDIFF with HOUR

Sample data posted as text would be great.
