Advocate IIChanging seconds into a hh:mm:ss duration
This is doing my head in.
I want to report seconds in a table as a hh:mm:ss duration rather than just ss.
I've been able to get this far (using the instructions here: https://efficiency365.com/2018/08/31/power-bi-seconds-to-duration/)
But I cannot get this data to appear in table in the desired format. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks!
Hi JonSwed ,
The result you displayed is actually correct, because your seconds column is a decimal number, which seems a little strange.As shown in the figure below, both 666 seconds and 666.14 seconds are converted into 11 minutes, and the result is correct. If you don't want to display decimals, you can use rounding to round up and then convert.
#duration(0,0,0,Number.Round([Sec2]))You can check more details from here.

Hi JonSwed ,
Could you tell me if your problem has been solved?
If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it.
Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.
