    Hi,

     

    if Time.From([Pay Rule End]) > Time.From([Pay Rule Start]) 
    then List.Max(
        {0,List.Min({15, 24*Number.From(Time.From([Pay Rule End]))})
             -List.Max({7, 24*Number.From(Time.From([Pay Rule Start]))})})
    else List.Max({0, 15 - 24*Number.From(Time.From([Pay Rule Start]))})
        +List.Max({0, 24*Number.From(Time.From([Pay Rule End]))-7}))

Hi

or

List.Max(
  {List.Min({#time(15,0,0),Time.From([Pay Rule End])})
      -List.Max({#time(7,0,0),Time.From([Pay Rule Start])}),
  #duration(0,0,0,0)})
/#duration(0,1,0,0)

Thanks slorin! appreciate you looking at this! this formula is much simpler than the original and easier to use.

 

As you see above, Im having an issue with shifts starting night before are not calculating correctly. This is happening with this formula as well. For example, a shift that starts 23:30 and ends 8:30, Im getting 0 even if I should get 1.5

Can you review and let me know how I can update to include those hours?

 

Thanks in advance!
