    Duration represents a length of time. It’s converted into a Decimal Number Type when loaded into the model. It is as designed according to this document.

    If you only want to show duration of time in a Table report. I think the easiest way is to change the Data Type from “Duration” to “Text” as below. Then it will keep the type as "Text" and can be showed correctly.
