Convert time to seconds

Hello all!

I have a column in the hour format( HH:mm: ss), and I want to show the average of this column, but, I'm connected by DirectQuery, so, no data modeling.

I would like to solve this issue using  just one measure, but I'm having problems with this time format, I can't even convert it into seconds.

Any idea?
Thanks

Give this a shot

 

Seconds_Measure =
VAR myvalue =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Column] )
RETURN
    ( myvalue - TRUNC ( myvalue ) )
        * 86400

Hello, Can you explain this formula a bit more to me?

 

The "myvalue" is that part of the formula or some custom information that has to be entered?

Thanks @Zubair_Muhammad! It did work!

Best Regards,
Diego
