Duration as Y-Axis

Hello Community!

 

Using the Line Chart visualization to plot the following is easy enough:

  • Total_Number_Of_Seconds (as a whole number) over time
  • Duration (a decimal number, which is Total_Number_Of_Seconds divided by 86,400) over time

 

Is there any way at all to display the Duration on the Y-Axis in HH : MM : SS format?

 

Thanks, in advance, for any help!

I can't see a way to display the Duration on the Y-Axis in HH : MM : SS format, unless you try an R visual.  While Power Query has a Duration data type, Power BI Reports do not - durations can only be treated as decimals or as number of seconds as you have it already.

I imagine you could get this into a text column and use a sort by of your numeric duration column.
