Yeah, because there is no true "Duration" format, when you convert it to HH:MM:SS it ends up as text instead of a numeric data type. What is really needed is a "Duration" format that leaves it as numeric seconds but displays as HH:MM:SS. It's been requested for years but the product team has never done it.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

They now have a duration data type, but don't go over 24 hours -- it gets confused
