Datediff for duration
Team,
I want to find duration in hours (upto 2 decimal places) from two datetime formatted cells. While i use datediff but it shows half negative and half postive integer values. i have attached the snap of the cell.
Basically i want duration between Enddatetime and begindatetime in hours.
can someone help with a proper query
regards

if you need a solution in power query, add a new colunn and use this formula
Number.Round(Duration.TotalHours([EndDateTime]-[BeginDateTime]), 2)Here the complete example
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjLQMzTUMzJQMDSwMjFT0lEyMoUKGJhbGZorxcYCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [BeginDateTime = _t, EndDateTime = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"BeginDateTime", type datetime}, {"EndDateTime", type datetime}}, "de-DE"), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Duration in hours", each Number.Round(Duration.TotalHours([EndDateTime]-[BeginDateTime]), 2), type number) in #"Added Custom"Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
