Total Time difference sum not working

[TaroGulati]

Hi all, 

I am having difficulty in total sum for the below scenario:

I am simply doing the time difference between start and end date. At the row level it is working perfectly but total is not correct. I am using the below measure:

Time Difference = Var Result_Second =  SUMX('Table',DATEDIFF(MIN('Table'[Start Date]),MIN('Table'[End Date]),SECOND))

Var Result_hour = INT(Result_second/3600)

Var Result_minutes = INT(MOD(Result_second,3600)/60)

Var Result_second_final = MOD(Result_second,60)

return FORMAT(Result_hour, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Result_minutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Result_second_final, "00")

I think it happening due to sumx and it seems to be a common issue. Do you know how to resolve it with measures. I am trying to avoid the calulated column. 

Thanks

@TaroGulati , Try creating a measure using

DAX
Time Difference =
VAR TotalSeconds = DATEDIFF(MIN('Table'[Start Date]), MAX('Table'[End Date]), SECOND)
VAR Result_hour = INT(TotalSeconds / 3600)
VAR Result_minutes = INT(MOD(TotalSeconds, 3600) / 60)
VAR Result_second_final = MOD(TotalSeconds, 60)
RETURN FORMAT(Result_hour, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Result_minutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Result_second_final, "00")

Hi @TaroGulati ,

Update your DAX measure to look like this:

Time Difference = 
VAR TotalSeconds = 
    SUMX(
        'Table', 
        DATEDIFF('Table'[Start Date], 'Table'[End Date], SECOND)
    )
VAR TotalHours = INT(TotalSeconds / 3600)
VAR TotalMinutes = INT(MOD(TotalSeconds, 3600) / 60)
VAR TotalSecondsFinal = MOD(TotalSeconds, 60)
RETURN 
    FORMAT(TotalHours, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(TotalMinutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(TotalSecondsFinal, "00")

Your output will look like this:

Hi @TaroGulati  - you can use a measure that correctly calculates the total time difference for all rows without reformatting until the final step

create measure as below:

Time Difference =
VAR TotalSeconds =
SUMX(
'Table',
DATEDIFF('Table'[Start Date], 'Table'[End Date], SECOND)
)
VAR Hours = INT(TotalSeconds / 3600)
VAR Minutes = INT(MOD(TotalSeconds, 3600) / 60)
VAR Seconds = MOD(TotalSeconds, 60)

RETURN
FORMAT(Hours, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Minutes, "00") & ":" & FORMAT(Seconds, "00")

It avoids the row-level formatting issue and ensures that the total at the bottom of the table is calculated correctly.
