Sum of duration over 24 hours

Hi There

im recording course times in PowerBi as time  (hh:mm:ss) however we have a number of course that are now over 24 hours.

 

I had the following in to calculate a sum which worked fine once all courses were under 24 hours but now we have additonal data this is throwing out the sum.

 

sum of duration =
VAR _sum=sum(Dashboard_All_Course_Completion[Duration (HH:MM) for Reporting])*86400
VAR _h=int(_sum/3600)
VAR _m=int((_sum-_h*3600)/60)
VAR _s=int(_sum-_h*3600-_m*60)
return _h

There is a special data type dedicated to this kind of calculations. It's called Duration. Both, in Power Query and in DAX.

I've tried changing the data type but this just errors out. Any additional suggestions?
