Hi @jbenson ,

I created a sample table.

Then create a measure.

 

Avg Wait Time = 
VAR _days = SUMX('Table',DATEDIFF('Table'[StartTime],'Table'[EndTime],SECOND))/86400/COUNTROWS('Table') 
VAR _times = FORMAT(_days+TIME(0,0,0),"h\hm\ms\s")
VAR _day = INT(_days)
RETURN
IF(_day<>0,_day&"\d"&_times,_times)

 

The result should be like this.
