time of day + duration using calculated columns

Hi Forum. 

 

I'm new to PBI and looking for some help from the amazing community in this forum. I know the methods I've used will not be the best but here is where I am. 

table with 5 colunms as detailed below CC denotes calculated column:
Date: dynamically pulled from excel spreadsheet

Packs per day:  dynamically pulled from excel spreadsheet

packs per day / a measure (CC): This gives me a duration in decimal format. 

Duraction correct format (CC): I use ([FF daily total / past 5 measure]*0.041666666666666) to give me a duration formated in Date/time [h:nnn:ss]

Start Time: dynamically pulled from excel spreadsheet. fomratted in PBI as Time.

Please can a master of PBI help me create a calculated column where the duration is added to the start time to show a finish time. please note Data populated for future dates are forecasts. 

 

My desired result is to then use this column on a card to show the estimated finish time for the present day.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try to create a calculate column with below dax formula:

Column = FORMAT('Table'[Start Time]+ TIMEVALUE([duration correct format]),"h:nn:ss AM/PM")
