Format text to time format

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I am using the following formula to calculate the duration that operators spent on IT tickets:-------------------------------------------------------------TijdBesteed =VAR TotalTime = IF(ISBLANK(SUMX(RELATEDTABLE(OperationsActivityTimeRegistrations), OperationsActivityTimeRegistrations[timeSpent_inSeconds])), 0, SUMX(RELATEDTABLE((OperationsActivityTimeRegistrations)), OperationsActivityTimeRegistrations[timeSpent_inSeconds]))VAR Uren = INT(TotalTime / 3600)VAR Minuten = INT(MOD(TotalTime, 3600) / 60)RETURN&nbsp; &nbsp; FORMAT(Uren, "00") &amp; ":" &amp; FORMAT(Minuten, "00")-------------------------------------------------------------&nbsp;I get the correct result. But one of my dashboard users, exports the data to excel to do some analytics. He is doing some caclulation on the duration(TijdBesteed) column, but it's failing because it is in text format. When i want to change the format in Power BI to a timevalue, i get the error(translatef from dutch):&nbsp;Cannot convert the value 30:00 of type Text to type Date.How do i solve this?

Hi thank you. I have found another solution, where i convert seconds to time duration using the query editor. Found the answer on this page:&nbsp;https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-convert-seconds-to-hh-mm-ss/m-p/310816#M137682
