I have a column that is a duration in a time format, yet when I add to a table it shows as a decimal. For example, when looking in the query, the following value:
| 0.03:23:02.4000000 |
Is displayed as: 3.38 ... I would like it displayed as 3:23 ... any help? Thanks!

Hi @cumoczar ,
Duration represents a length of time. It’s converted into a Decimal Number Type when loaded into the model. It is as designed according to this document.
If you only want to show duration of time in a Table report, I think the easiest way is to change the Data Type from “Duration” to “Text” as below. Then it will keep the type as "Text" and can be showed correctly.
