Hi everyone! I am doing an HR analysis on "average time workers log in by day of the week" and I need a visual of it as well. I tried converting the time stamp (HHMM) to numeric value but it just doe...

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    To my knowledge, your requirement——Show Time format value for Y-axis could not be realized currently.

    Ideas similar with what you expect have been submitted in the following links, please vote them up and you can add comments. Hopes Power Bi will implement this in nearby future.

    Support y-axis time values

    Chart Time HH:MM:SS in Y-Axis

    dates and times on the y-axis of a graph

     

    My workaround is Switch Time to Number type for Y-axis , and apply the Time format to Tooltips pane:

    1. Add column: get total seconds

    Time(Seconds) = HOUR([Time]) *3600 +MINUTE([Time])*60+SECOND([Time])

    2. Create a measure to get the average seconds, and then change to Time type

    Avg Time format = 
var avgSec= CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Time(Seconds)]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[WeekDay]))
var h=INT(avgSec/3600)
var m=INT( (avgSec - h*3600) / 60)
var s=avgSec-  h*3600 -m*60
return  TIME(h,m,s)

    Output:

Time field only go upto 24hrs,
So convert it to decimal is you need to do aggegation
then use this dax measure to display the answer as  formated text 
 
Time HH:MM:SS =
-- convert decimal duration to hh:mm:ss text eg converts 5.5 to "00:05:30" and convert 0 to 00:00

-- Take decimal minutes as input eg 5.5 minutes  of  a measure like  SUM(youttable[duration])
VAR DecimalMinutes = 5.5   

-- Convert decimal minutes to seconds
VAR Duration = DecimalMinutes * 60
 
-- Calc the days, hours, minutes and seconds (add days if required
VAR Hours = INT(DIVIDE(Duration,3600,0))
VAR Minutes = INT(DIVIDE(MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600),60,0))
VAR Seconds = ROUNDUP(MOD ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ), 60 ),0)
 
-- Format hours, minutes and seconds to two decimals
VAR H = IF (LEN ( Hours ) = 1, CONCATENATE ( "0", Hours ), CONCATENATE ( "", Hours ))
VAR M = IF (LEN ( Minutes ) = 1, CONCATENATE ( "0", Minutes ), CONCATENATE ( "", Minutes ))
VAR S = IF (LEN ( Seconds ) = 1, CONCATENATE ( "0", Seconds ), CONCATENATE ( "", Seconds ))

RETURN
-- if input is 0 return 00:00.
-- return hours:mins:seconds as text
-- handles any errors(unlikely)
-- if inpout is greater than 24hrs then the hours will be displayed
IFERROR(
IF (DecimalMinutes>0,
H & ":" & M & ":" & S,
"0:00"),
"Error")
