Difference in Hours Calculation for Duration - Negative +1 day

I have the below data, and I am trying to edit it in Power Query Editor. I wanted it to show the number of minutes between two hours - with column name - "In" and "Out" as shown in the picture. I tried it out and some of them popped as negative hours.

Since the data has only one date column and not the next day, I am not able to find out a solution.

The data has to show me 13 minutes but shows -1367 minutes

You can add a custom column with the formula below.  It checks if the Out is less than the In and, if so, it sums the time between Out and midnight and In and midnight.  This is in minutes so you can sub with Duration.TotalHours or just divide the result by 60.

 

= if [In] <= [Out] then Duration.TotalMinutes([Out] - [In]) else Duration.TotalMinutes(#time(24,0,0) - [In]) + Duration.TotalMinutes([Out] - #time(0,0,0))
