Revised solution below. You can create a new - blank - query, go to the advanced editor and replace the default code by the code below.
Remark: the first step was the result of using option "Enter Data". If you want to adjust data, you can use the gear button at the right from "Source" in the "Applied Steps" pane at the right hand side of the query window.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fc5LCoAwDATQu2RdMN+qcwf3Qun9r2GhGwNWyGLgkUxaI5FNx7DsVIgVzmAe8aJepmrWyJp2BSoj3t+7gqhJ7a0K87UaWFJvUp+9S41zfTngP19V2DEv9wc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Time = _t, Status = _t]), Typed = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Time", type time}, {"Status", type text}}), AddedDateTime = Table.AddColumn(Typed, "DateTime", each [Date] & [Time], type datetime), Grouped1 = Table.Group(AddedDateTime, {"Status"}, {{"First", each List.Min([DateTime]), type datetime}, {"Last", each List.Max([DateTime]), type datetime}}, GroupKind.Local), AddedFirstDate = Table.AddColumn(Grouped1, "First Date", each DateTime.Date([First]), type date), AddedLastDate = Table.AddColumn(AddedFirstDate, "Last Date", each DateTime.Date([Last]), type date), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(AddedLastDate, "Date", each List.Dates([First Date],Duration.Days([Last Date]-[First Date])+1,#duration(1,0,0,0)), type {date}), #"Expanded Date" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Date"), AddedStart = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Date", "Start", each if [Date] = [First Date] then [First] else [Date] & #time(0,0,0), type datetime), AddedEnd = Table.AddColumn(AddedStart, "End", each if [Date] = [Last Date] then [Last] else [Date] & #time(23,59,59.9999999), type datetime), AddedDuration = Table.AddColumn(AddedEnd, "Duration", each [End] - [Start], type duration), SelectedColumns = Table.SelectColumns(AddedDuration,{"Status", "Date", "Duration"}) in SelectedColumnsThe result is a table with 1 row per status/date. This will allow you to filter on status and/or dates in your visualizations.
Also the total durations - these are decimal values in the data model - need to be calculated in your visuals - or with DAX - as these depend on filter context.
I don't know if the (total) durations can be formatted as (h):mm:ss: that would require some DAX beyond my knowledge.
My advice would be to raise a new topic, specifically for "Totalling decimal values in DAX and have the results displayed as {h}:mm:ss". (Please use similar text as the topic title. "Time status" won't win the best topic title award).

Hi Anonymous
Using your Sample Data
Here are the steps
Step#1: RANK by time
Add a calculated column which will RANK based on TIME column
RANK = RANKX ( TableName, TableName[Time],, asc, DENSE )
Step 2: Identify Starting and End Points for "X"
Using this calculated Column
Previous/Next Status Is X = IF ( TableName[Status] = "X" && CALCULATE ( VALUES ( TableName[Status] ), FILTER ( ALL ( TableName ), TableName[RANK] = EARLIER ( TableName[RANK] ) - 1 ) ) <> "X", "Starting Point", IF ( TableName[Status] = "X" && CALCULATE ( VALUES ( TableName[Status] ), FILTER ( ALL ( TableName ), TableName[RANK] = EARLIER ( TableName[RANK] ) + 1 ) ) <> "X", "End Point" ) )Step# 3: Compute the Time Difference
Diff = IF ( TableName[Previous/Next Status Is X] = "End Point", DATEDIFF ( MAXX ( FILTER ( TableName, TableName[RANK] < EARLIER ( TableName[RANK] ) && TableName[Previous/Next Status Is X] = "Starting Point" ), TableName[Time] ), TableName[Time], SECOND ) )
The date and time column must be in date and time format respectively, before using my code.
In that case, the concatenation of date and time will give a datetime field.
In your case it's just text.
The solution returns the duration for consecutive values, as requested, not per date.
If you want to filter by date, then the solution must be completely revised.
E.g. split at midnights, or will there also be additional requirements to limit the results to working hours and exclude weekends and holidays?
Hi MarcelBeug,
Thanks for your quick response, the timeduration for every day (24 hours) would be what i'd like to achieve. I want the value to be in a card visual where it shows the sum of all duration by default, and where it can be filtered by day. Weekends and holidays dont need to be taken into account.
Best regards,
