Convert hours on PowerBI

Dear all,

 

I'm not an expert on PowerBI and need some help. How can I get the below formula into power BI.

 

=VALUE(LEFT(TEXT(A2,"##0.00"),FIND(".",TEXT(A2,"#0.00"))-1)*60)+VALUE(RIGHT(TEXT(A2,"#0.00"),2))

Hi @Basheer24 ,

 

If the column is Number type, you could use the following formula to create a column:

Column 1= 
var _Integer= INT([Contract(hh.mm)])
var _Decimal= ([Contract(hh.mm)]-_Integer) *100
return _Integer *60 + _Decimal

 Or modify your syntax to fit in PBI like this:

Column 2= 
var _s=FORMAT([Contract(hh.mm)],"##.00")
return LEFT( _s ,FIND(".",_s)-1) * 60 + RIGHT(_s,2)

The final output is shown below:
