Duration time
- 6 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
We can just add two steps to get the duration time if your excel is format as hh:mm:ss:
[Duration] - #datetime(1899,12,31,0,0,0)
Then just delete the origin column and rename the new column
The full version M Query is here:
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("D:\Test\2019-10-08\Duration-time.xlsx"), null, true), Sheet1_Sheet = Source{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data], #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Sheet1_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Promoted Headers", "Custom", each [Duration] - #datetime(1899,12,31,0,0,0)), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Custom", type duration}}), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Duration"}), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Custom", "Duration"}}) in #"Renamed Columns"you can use time to show in the field, or keep the origin duration number (the total day)
BTW, pbix and excel as attached.Best regards,

ah ok it worked now when I changed to duration ! Thanks ! Another question for items that were less then a hour so 0:20:00 are displaying as 12:20:00 with the duration conversion. Is there a DAX formula to change the 12 to 0 ?
Anonymous well if you use duration function to get minutes, it will give you 20 minutes, not sure if that is wht you are asking.
