Hello,
I have a column which represents seconds, but I need to now create a metric showing the average in days, hours, minutes and seconds. In the below example, this average of my column is 213955 seconds, which should equal to 2 Days 11 Hours 25 Minutes 55 Seconds. I'm not sure how to get this to show in a Power BI metric. The final output could either be one metric for a card, or separate cards to show the days, hours, minutes, seconds.
Would someone be able to assist with this? Thank you in advance

Use the following measure to get the desired result:
New Time =
var vSeconds=AVERAGE(Sheet1[Seconds])
var vMinutes=int( vSeconds/60)
var vRemainingSeconds=MOD(vSeconds, 60)
var vHours=INT(vMinutes/60)
var vRemainingMinutes=MOD(vMinutes,60)
var vDays=INT(vHours/24)
var vRemainingHours=MOD(vHours,24)
return
vDays&" Days & "&
vRemainingHours&" Hours & "&
vRemainingMinutes&" Minutes & "&
ROUND(vRemainingSeconds,0)& " Seconds"

hello Good day, apply the code that comments, and I do not mark error, but in the whole column I add the same result, did not make the calculation for each row
