Question with duration type
Hi all I have an excel file with several agents call center calls, and one of the columns is the duration of the calls. I have changed the type from text to duration, but when I use the score card visual, i only see 0.00 , it does not give me the minutes that is what i want. Is there any way to show all decimals ? as the duration is always on minutes, so i have 0.00.04.27 and things like that . Thanks! César
Hi Anonymous ,
You need to create a new column using your "duration" column as per the calculation suggested by amitchandak

If it text/varchar
new column in Minute =left([Duration],2)*60 + mid([Duration],4,2) +right([Duration],2)/60
If it is time /timestamp
new column in Minute =hour([Duration])*60 + minute([Duration]) +second([Duration])/60

Hi Anonymous ,
- Just want to check what format did you chnage your TEXT type DURATION column to? Is it time? (hh:mm:ss)
- Second question is how did you change a text value to DURATION in Power BI?
Refer following article to correctly convert text value to time value.
