Converting seconds to HH:MM:SS text format repeatedly

I have a DAX measure to convert my [Duration in sec] to hh:mm:ss text format. However, if I have several measures which I need to convert to hh:mm:ss text format, e.g. [call Duration in sec], [call Duration in sec wk], [email duration in sec], [email Duration in sec wk], is there a way that I will only create one DAX measure 'Time in Text' that formats them all?

Time in Text =
VAR Seconds = [Duration in sec]
VAR Minutes =
    INT ( Seconds / 60 )
VAR RemSeconds =
    MOD ( Seconds, 60 )
VAR Hours =
    INT ( Minutes / 60 )
VAR RemMinutes =
    MOD ( Minutes, 60 )
RETURN
    Hours & ":" & RemMinutes & ":" & RemSeconds

Maybe via calculation groups but generally no. But, check out Chelsie Eiden's duration as maybe it helps? https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Chelsie-Eiden-s-Duration/td-p/793639
