Time calculations with 'latest' and 'earliest' values of time-columns in Direct Query mode:

Hi everybody,

 

I've a question about calculation with 'earliest' times:

  • I'm making an overview of the check-in and check-out times of our employees and want to see who starts working too late and/or who stops working too early. Because they check out and in everytime they start working on a new project, often there are multiple records per employee per day.
  • START TIME:

    - The first time they check in on a day is the time they start working: this has to be at latest 8:00h 
    - I've put 'earliest' of time_from_actual in as value, but now I want to check if this value is later than 08:00h: how do I do this?

  • END TIME:
    - The latest time they check out on a day is the time they stop working: this has to be at 17:00h or after 
    - I've put 'latest' of time_to_actual in as value, but now I want to check if this value is before 17:00h: how do I do this?

  • Also an important note: I'm working in DirectQuery mode

Is there anyone who nows how to do this? Thanks in advance for the reply

Hi @DanielB_NL ,

 

Please try these measures.

 

Measure = IF(MIN('Table'[time_from_actual]) < TIME(8,0,0), 1, 0)
Measure 2 = IF(MAX('Table'[time_from_actual]) < TIME(17,0,0), 1, 0)
