Time Difference in Power Query

Hi Experts

 

How would you calculate the difference in meeting start time and meeting end time in Power Query. 

Sample Data

 

Start TimeEnd Time
11:30:00 13:00:00
16:30:00 15:00:00
09:15:00 10:30:00

    Add a new column like this:

     

    let
    Difference = [End Time] - [Start Time],
    Day = Number.Abs(Duration.Days(Difference)),
    Hour =  Number.Abs(Duration.Hours(Difference)),
    Minute =  Number.Abs(Duration.Minutes(Difference)),
    Second =  Number.Abs(Duration.Seconds(Difference)),
    FullDurationAbs = #duration(Day, Hour, Minute, Second),
    NextDayDuration = #duration(0,24,0,0) - FullDurationAbs
    
    in
    if [Start Time] > [End Time] then NextDayDuration  else Difference

        Because Start Time is bigger than End Time, do you want me to recreate and check if the Start Time is bigger, it takes the time to another day? so it would 22,5 hours?
