Hi,
Another query on calculating dates/times, but I haven't seen anything similar to what I'm trying to do, so I'd appreciate any help!
When we place an order with a carrier, we speicify the delivery date/time that we want. We have cut off times agreed with our carriers for when we will place the order for them to then deliver by the requested date, and I need to see how often we are failing to hit that cut off.
The data is set by times in one column and day number in another; today is Day 0, tomorrow is Day 1, next day is Day 2 etc
| Order Cut Off | Day | Delivery Time | |
| Point A to Point B | 10:00 | 1 | 16:00 |
| Point A to Point C | 14:00 | 2 | 09:00 |
In this example, if we want an item delivering to Point B tomorrow, we would need to book the order by 10:00 today. Point C is further away - we need to book before 14:00 Day 0 to ensure delivery at 09:00 Day 2.
Essentially, Point B requires 30 hours lead time, point C needs 43 hours. How do I calculate that from this date in a new column?
Many thanks!!

Thanks for detailed explaination
Use below formula in Calculated Column
Duration (Hours) = Var StartDate = TODAY()+'Table'[Order Cut Off] Var EndDate = TODAY()+'Table'[Delivery Time] + 'Table'[Day] RETURN (EndDate - StartDate) * 24

Hi @Anonymous
If Delivery Time and Order Cut Off are formatted as Time and Day as whole number, you can simply do
NewColumn = 24*(Table1[Delivery Time] + Table1[Day] - Table1[Order Cut Off] )
