Hi @AdamPolak96 ,

 

Yes, we could do such an expection in Power Query.

Here is the whole M syntax:

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjLQMzTSMzIwMlLSUXJJLErNVgjOzSzJAPIMLKwMDIC0oRmEhvBjddA0ueYm5pWm5ij4pCbnpCYXQRQamoI0mlsZgzVagvgYGgMyS1KLFAISi7JTobqModaBdRuYW5kAdcUCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Employee = _t, #"Start job" = _t, #"end job" = _t, #"Work time" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type text}, {"Employee", type text}, {"Start job", type time}, {"end job", type time}, {"Work time", type time}}),
    #"Changed Type with Locale" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type", {{"Date", type date}}, "en-GB"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type with Locale", "Hourer", each [
starthour=Time.From(Number.ToText(Time.Hour([Start job]))&":00:00"),
hourdiff=Time.Hour([end job])-Time.Hour([Start job]) +1,
timelist=List.Times(starthour,hourdiff,#duration(0,1,0,0))
][timelist]),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Hourer"),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Count", each [
    a=Duration.TotalMinutes([Hourer] -[Start job]) ,
    b=Duration.TotalMinutes([end job] -[Hourer]),
    c=[Start job]>[Hourer],
    d= if [end job] <>[Hourer] and b <60 then b/60 else if c then (60+a)/60 else 1
][d]),
    #"Extracted Hour" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom1",{{"Hourer", Time.Hour, Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Extracted Hour"
