Convert Times to actual minutes and actual seconds

[SportStudent]

Hi All, 

Wondering if you could help?

I have a column of time stamps for Duration in Heart rate zone and managed to convert it into minutes and seconds using the formula: HOUR(TBLHR[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)])*60+MINUTE(TBLHR[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)])+SECOND(TBLHR[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)])/60 which has been working fine - ie 00:16:47 = 16.783. 

However, my athletes and some colleagues are finding this difficult to understand and would rather see the number as 16.47 (actual minutes and actual seconds in number form) for the ease of understanding. 

Is there a way of doing this converstion easy?

Really appreciate any help on this.

Hi @SportStudent ,

Maybe you could add some text to identify like this:

To do this, add a Second Column using the following formula:

secondColumn =
HOUR ( 'TBLHR'[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)] ) * 3600
    + MINUTE ( 'TBLHR'[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)] ) * 60
    + SECOND ( 'TBLHR'[Aerobic zone 1 (hh:mm:ss)] )

Then create a measure based on the new column:

Measure =
VAR TotalSeconds =
    MAX ( 'TBLHR'[secondColumn] )
VAR Hors =
    TRUNC ( ( TotalSeconds ) / 3600 )
VAR Mins =
    TRUNC ( MOD ( TotalSeconds, 3600 ) / 60 )
VAR Secs =
    MOD ( TotalSeconds, 60 )
RETURN
    IF ( Hors < 10, "0" & Hors, Hors ) & "h"
        & IF ( Mins < 10, "0" & Mins, Mins ) & "m"
        & IF ( Secs < 10, "0" & Secs, Secs ) & "s"

Here is the pbix file

Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.
