Export to Excel hh:mm column

Hello

Does it happen to anyone that when you export a Power BI table that contains a column in HH:MM time format, it doesn't export correctly?

When I switch to excel, the entire time column is modified by negative numbers

Examples:

17h pm puts it in Excel as -53323,7083333333

9 am puts it in Excel as -53323,375

So it goes with every hour.

Thank you.

I solved it by adding a new custom column and just taking the time, then I formatted text to the column and it exports it well, I don't know if it's the right way but it works.
