    Yes.  First you need to use Power Query to clean up the data by removing the h and m and converting the values to actual times.

     

     

    Then after loading the data from Power Query into Power BI, select each column and set the display format of the columns to h:mm:ss.

     

     

    Giving this 

     

     

    Depending on what you are doing, this may or may not be the right approach.  You may need to convert these values to Duration data type, rather than Time.
