View and add up to 24 hours!

I need to create a panel where I visualize the sum of hours worked, and these hours are mostly over 24 hours. Ex: 36:00 hours. Can I use this format in Power Bi?

Yes, you split that field by the separator: ":" into 2 fields: First "Hours", second "Minutes". Perform all aggregations and transformations on these 2 fields separately before in the last step, you add them together again to create the total field, this time in a decimal format.

Hi @tiagotas,

 

In your scenario, you can use DATEDIFF function to get the total hours for each employee, this value can exceed 24 hours.

If this is not what you want, please provide us some sample data and expected result, so that we can make further analysis.
