calculation of remaining time of an order

[Rene86]

Hi,

I´ve several orders in a machine and need to calculate the remaining time for each.

The lead time for each is 30 minutes and needs to be calculated to the time right now.

In Excel it works with a simple Datediff " 30- (Datediff('EBM1Orders'[TimeStamp];Now();Minute)), but I´m unable do do that in the Power Query editor in PowerBi.

Thank you for your support in advance.

Add the formula below to your EBM1Orders table.

30-Duration.TotalMinutes([TimeStamp]-DateTime.LocalNow())

That was easy.. I was just to stupid 😉

Thank you for your quick help!

By the fact that you know any way to come up with the answer disqualifes you as stupid.

Power query is a bit different. I would say "progressing through your learning curve". 

And you are welcome!

Using that on my local PC, it´s working. After publishing, it´s not updating the "LocalNow"...

Any ideas on that?

I primarily use PQ in Excel and do not use the publish option. However, the link below might offer some ideas.
