Convert text value to long time

[kvitnitskiy]

Hello comunity.

 I have duration value  in sec(integer),  I use DAX to convert it to time 

Movement Time =

VAR Duration ='Summary table'[Duration(sec)]

VAR Hours =INT ( Duration / 3600)

VAR Minutes =INT ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ) / 60)

VAR Seconds =ROUNDUP(MOD ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ), 60 ),0)

VAR H =IF ( LEN ( Hours ) = 1,

CONCATENATE ( "0", Hours ),Hours)

VAR M =IF (LEN ( Minutes ) = 1,

CONCATENATE ( "0", Minutes ),Minutes)

VAR S =IF (LEN ( Seconds ) = 1,

CONCATENATE ( "0", Seconds ),Seconds)

RETURN

CONCATENATE (H,CONCATENATE ( ":", CONCATENATE ( M, CONCATENATE ( ":", S ) ) ))

Then I try appy time format for this column and got error 

So this perfectly works untill my time value less or equall  to 23:59:59.

question - how can I convert duration to time like hhh:nn:mm  and apply time format as well

Please see this article for a better way to handle durations like this.

Hi @kvitnitskiy ,

Power BI doesn't support Duration data type for time over 24 hours.

If you need the time format, you can consider adding an extra column to save the part beyond 24h, or use the Date\Time format to convert the part beyond 24h to days

@kvitnitskiy , You can have a number like

1*time(h,m,s) 

That will be a fraction of a day . you can multiply with 24 to get hours

24*60 to get minutes
