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

@Invesco 
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

Second =  Number.Abs(Duration.Seconds(Difference)),

in
if [Start Time] > [End Time] then NextDayDuration  else Difference
