I need help.
I have a column for the hours of production.
I want to calculate the time difference between them and create a new column.
In this way, I will create a cycle time chart.
What formula should I use to create this column?
Hi, @Student59
Based on your description, I have created some measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.
DAX:
New Column:
DateDown =
VAR _dateDown =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ),
FILTER ( 'Date', 'Date'[Date] < EARLIER ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
)
RETURN
_dateDown
Measure:
TimeDiff =
VAR _date1 =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _date2 =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[DateDown] )
VAR _diff_second =
DATEDIFF ( _date2, _date1, SECOND )
VAR Hours =
INT ( _diff_second / 3600 )
VAR Minutes =
INT ( MOD ( _diff_second, 3600 ) / 60 )
VAR Seconds =
MOD ( _diff_second, 60 )
RETURN
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( _date2 ),
FORMAT ( Hours, "00" ) & ":"
& FORMAT ( Minutes, "00" ) & ":"
& FORMAT ( Seconds, "00" )
)
