Hi @Arpitpawar, I don't know how exactly is your column with that time or duration stored but you can do something like this:
Result
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMsooKlYwMsjNzFPSUTKyMjJQio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
Ad_Col1ToMinutes = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Col1 to Minutes", each
[ l = List.Transform(Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition({"0".."9"}, {"a".."z", "A".."Z"})([Column1]), (x)=> Number.From(Text.Select(x, {"0".."9"}))),
m = l{0} * 60 + l{1}
][m], Int64.Type
),
Ad_Col2ToMinutes = Table.AddColumn(Ad_Col1ToMinutes, "Col2 to Minutes", each
[ l = List.Transform(Text.Split([Column2], ":"), (x)=> Number.From(Text.Trim(x))),
m = l{0} * 60 + l{1}
][m], Int64.Type)
in
Ad_Col2ToMinutes
