Format duration in decimal for charts
Hi
I have a column that represent the execution time of scheduled jobs. This column is shown in "time value" for each rows like "01:32:24". Because bar chart can't show only number and decimals values, I'm trying to convert it into a decimal format like 01.32.
Here's what I have
Jobname duration in time
Job 1 01:24:20
Job 2 02:16:08
Job 3 00:01:32
What I want is
Jobname duration in decimal
Job 1 01.24.20
Job 2 02.16.08
Job 3 00.01.32
And then use the duration in decimal to do sums and averages in a bar chart
How can I do that?
Many thanks for your help
Convert the literal to correct duration, then the engine recognize it and store it as decimal number inherently.
= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Conv", each let l = List.Transform(Text.Split([Duration], ":"), Number.From) in #duration(0,l{0},l{1},l{2}), type duration)

But in my case i want to show the value in a bar chart.
Currently in my chart the value that is shown is in this format 0.04843.... instead of 01:09:45
That's normal because natively you can only show int and decimal values in charts. it's not possible to show time values.
based on those limitations, i'm trying to change the time format in a int format similar like 1.9.
45
How can i do this to be used in a chart ?
Thanks
