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:
Solved! Go to Solution.
@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 ,
Pls has your problem been solved? If so, accept the helpful replies as solutions. This will make it easier for the future people to find the answer quickly.
If not, please provide a more detailed description, preferably some virtual sample data, and the expected results.
Best Regards,

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.
