Convert text value to time value I get error
Hi Anonymous ,
Based on your description, you can try to get the values of hours and minutes and convert them to the "whole number" data type, and then use the "IF" function to get the results you want. You can refer to this below:
1. Get the values of hours and minutes
hour = LEFT('Table'[Column1],2) minute = RIGHT('Table'[Column1],2)2. Convert to the "whole number" data type
3. Use "IF" function
time = IF('Table'[hour]<24&&'Table'[minute]<60,CONCATENATE('Table'[hour]&":",'Table'[minute]),"23:59:59")Best Regards,

In the context of time, 26 hours makes no sense as that's a day and two hours - you probably want to look at duration instead, or depending on what your end goal is on your report, convert it just into a count of minutes
I've tried duration too but it doesnt work. Can I somehow convert the "error" message that shows blank column in the reports to just say "23:59:59" or something instead?
