math operators on hours

[EdK99]

Hello,

I am developing a dashboard to analyze billable hours and overtime hours, my table has two time columns, "Work start time" and "Work finish time", I want to create a logic that will check whether the finishing time is after 18:00 or not, and if so, calculate how many hours of overtime it is. I've tried to apply basic math operators like greater than, but I don't think they work with that format. Any idea on how to do this?

Hi, add extra column in Power Query or Power Bi, and seperate the time from this column and make formula like this 

IF Value([Time]) > TimeValue(18:00) then overtime else normal

and next make another column Value([Time]) - TimeValue(18:00). In power BI You can fillter next this quantity by "Overtime/Normal".  I wasn't input the formula in a line with power m/dax standards, only for expleaning the meaning.

Hi @EdK99 ,

try this calculated column

Overtime =

VAR _18_Time = 0.75

RETURN

IF(

    [WorkFinish] > _18_Time,

    [WorkFinish] - _18_Time

)
