Hi Vijay,

 

This formula works perfectly except for some really do end on the same day

 

Is there any way to tell the formula that?

 

Here is what it looks like now using your amazing formula

The only problem if you see some are really starting at 6:30 am and ending on the same day shift at 4:30 pm

 

Thank again for helping me with this.

Much appreciated.

The formula for End DateTime will need to be changed to

if [End]>=[Start] then [Date]&[End] else Date.AddDays([Date],1)&[End]

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTUNzIAIiNDJR0gx8rE1MrAQCHAF8izALJAHEdfpVgdiEojmEoDEytjmCRQnwGUB9QXGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Start = _t, End = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Start", type time}, {"End", type time}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "StartDateTime", each [Date]&[Start], type datetime),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "EndDateTime", each if [End]>[Start] then [Date]&[End] else Date.AddDays([Date],1)&[End]),
    #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "TotalMinutes", each Duration.TotalMinutes([EndDateTime]-[StartDateTime]))
in
    #"Added Custom2"
