Equivalent for excel time format 37:30:55

Hi!

New to PBI, I need your help: I have a column of data imported from excel with waiting times. I had it in excel format 37:30:55, but it's lost in PBI - for a previous waiting time of 28:37:39, I get in PBI "01/01/1900 04:37:39", in text format. Changing the format to time, I'm left with 04:37:39, which is the wrong information. I saw the 2016 answer to the one previous post about this subject, but it doesn't quite fit what I need to do.

Appreciate all the help you can give me!

Thanks!!

Iva

Hi!

Relatively new to PBI, I have a column of data imported from excel, with waiting times, that were in excel time format 37:30:55.

In PBI, in time format, all waiting times > 24 hours are lost -eg  28:00:00 hours of waiting, changes to 04:00:00.

Does anyone know how to get the equivalent to excel format 37:30:50 in PBI?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Iva
