Excel Data has time formatted converts to decimal in Power BI want it to match Excel

My data that's coming from Excel comes in correctly. The Average Handle time ect comes in how I want it.

But when I have it go to Power BI the format changes to Decimal Number.

And simply changing the Data Type to TIME is not giving the correct Time.  Should be minutes not an acutail time.

How do I get PowerBI to show exactly what Excel is brining over?

Using the duration type instead of the time type may get you the result you are looking for.
