Time Delta

I am creating a time & motion study and want to compare the actual time 'turning spanners' compared to other unproductive tasks.

 

I have created a time log database of all tasks in the working day (similar to below).

TaskStart TimeEnd TimeTime Delta (minutes)
Housekeeping7:308:0030
Time on Tools8:009:50110
Travel9:5010:0010

 

I want to show lost times based on the below logic 

Start work (7:30am) - Break (10:00am)        maximum time on tools = 150min

 

I need a card visual showing the total amount of time on tools in the above period and a table summary of the lost time 

 

Example:

 

Card = 110minutes

Table = House keeping and Travel summary

 

Many thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to the information you describe, you can add a judgment condition to the original formula. I did a test, the reference is as follows:

Col_ = 
IF (
    HOUR ( 'Table'[End Time] ) = 10
        && MINUTE ( 'Table'[End Time] ) <= 0,
    TRUE (),
    IF ( HOUR ( 'Table'[End Time] ) < 10, TRUE (), FALSE () )
)

Sounds good. What have you tried and where are you stuck?

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response. I have tried creating a custom column to generate a true of false column using the below DAX

 

7AM-10am = IF(HOUR(dilo_master[end_time]) >= 7 && HOUR(dilo_master[end_time]) <= 10.00 ,TRUE(),FALSE())
 
This works how ever instead of cutting off at 10:00am as required it is pulling end times all the way up to 10:59am. Any ideas how to get around this?
 
Many thanks,
 
Elliot 

Two options. Either remove the equal sign

 

7AM-10am = HOUR(dilo_master[end_time]) >= 7 && HOUR(dilo_master[end_time]) < 10.00

 

or  consider the minutes as well

 

7AM-10am = HOUR(dilo_master[end_time]) >= 7 && HOUR(dilo_master[end_time])*60+MINUTE(dilo_master[end_time]) <= 600.00
