Ok i always seem to struggle with time in BI and I've a project that its quite critical I can display values as hours and minutes, not deciaml time and not just whole minutes...
I have a tabel that contains the actual duration as a number and I have converted that into whole minutes, but when I try and create visuals etc... I can return average values that are in hours and minutes, Unless I use
Measure 2 = (FORMAT([hours and mins], "hh:mm"))
But that is a text field, Great for Card visuals but do not work in charts.
Yet when I run an average across my actaul time coumn I get a decimal figure in my chart.
I have tried to format the column with the actual hours and minutes as duration etc... but it goes all over the place.
Seems like such a simple thing I want to do but I cannot get it to work and I know that displaying the values as decimal won't be considered acceptable
Hi @astarkey,
How about creating a tooltip based on a measure? Example:
tooltip = FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Time in Minutes] ), 60 ), "HH:MM" )
Thanks for the reply
I can get the tooltip to show the correct time already but I don't think thats going to be my solution.... I really need the data
