Duration format showing in date and time format in Power BI

 

In Excel I have a two columns are Data and comments.

 

The "Data" column contain the following headers are "Records Extracted", "Date and Time" & "Execution Time".

The comments column contain the following data according to the headers "50", "02/02/2021 12:31:19" and "00:00:05".

1. The "Date and Time" column contain date time format in Excel.
2. The "Execution Time" column contain time format in Excel.

3. The "Records Extracted" column contain general format in Excel.

When I try to load the data (Excel file) into Power BI then the "Execution Time" column went date and time format but I want in Duration format.

 

Can you please advise how can I convert the Duration format?

@Saxon10 you cannot have a column with multiple formats, you should keep all these as separate columns and then give the format.
