I'm trying to convert negative decimal numbers to a time displayed as hh:nn:ss (Long Time), however, it's giving me an error:
Instead of converting the "Verschil" column, I also tried to calculate the difference between "Aantal Formated" and "Gepland Formated" but couldn't get far.

Hi @kk_Domme_kk_Aap ,
You can refer the following links to get it:

decimal to duration conversion
NewColumn =
TRUNC(Table4[Zeit2 - Copy]) & "." & //Days
FORMAT(TRUNC(Table4[Zeit2 - Copy]*24);"00") & ":" &//Hours
FORMAT(TRUNC(Table4[Zeit2 - Copy]*24*60);"00") & ":" & //Minutes
FORMAT(Table4[Zeit2 - Copy]*24*60*60;"00.0000000") //Seconds

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data of the field "Gepland" and "Aantal" (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Rather than creating a DAX calculated column, consider keeping your column as a decimal, creating your measure and do the formatting at the end (assuming the result is >0, or you will still get an error). Please see this article.

Dates and Times can only ever be positive. What does your column represent?
The "Verschil" column represents the difference in time between "Gepland" and "Aantal"
Then you need to treat it as a duration data type, not a datetime data type. Not sure if negative durations are supported.
