    "Number in excel is 1:50 but in power BI becomes 0.08."

     

    Time data is stored as a decimal number between 0 and 1.  1 Hour is about 0.04166667  (1 over 24).  2 Hours is therefore 0.083333.  So 1:50 would make sense being 0.08.

     

    You should be able to instruct Power BI to attempt to recognise that as Time Data.
