  • Hi Anonymous,

     

    Please check the followig steps as below.

     

    1. Replace all "." to ":" in Hours Spent column in power query.

     

    2. Split columns by ":" here is the M code for your reference.

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlDSAeJYHSBLz8AUyDGFcgyBbEMo2wwkYQaVsTIB8UwgPJAqM4h+Qz1DkIQ5VMLECmycBUyhiR46H2yqpQFcPYIfCwA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Hours Spent" = _t, Minutes = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Hours Spent", type text}, {"Minutes", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",".",":",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Hours Spent"}),
        #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Hours Spent", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(":", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Hours Spent.1", "Hours Spent.2"}),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Hours Spent.1", Int64.Type}, {"Hours Spent.2", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type1",{{"Hours Spent.1", "Hours"}, {"Hours Spent.2", "Mins"}})
    in
        #"Renamed Columns"

    3. To create a calcualted column as we need.

     

    Minu = Table1[Hours]*60+Table1[Mins]

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

     

    Regards,

    Frank

    I think you just need to multiply by 60, looks like a fractional hour. You first few Minutes values seem to be incorrect.
