Hi Experts
How would you calculate the difference in meeting start time and meeting end time in Power Query.
Sample Data
| Start Time | End Time | |
| 11:30:00 | 13:00:00 | |
| 16:30:00 | 15:00:00 | |
| 09:15:00 | 10:30:00 |
Solved! Go to Solution.

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
Hi - thats what i did but i get negitive time...
@Invesco
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?
yes please
