Time calculation and formating in Power BI

Hi, I have some time related data including start, stop and duration (in seconds) and I want to display a summary card with the hours:minutes:seconds but I can't seem to get the formula to work:

 

Data:

date start end duration
01/01/2024 00:00 01/01/2024 08:54 01/01/2024 09:25 1835
01/01/2024 00:00 01/01/2024 10:01 01/01/2024 10:26 1468
01/01/2024 00:00 01/01/2024 11:04 01/01/2024 11:46 2517
01/01/2024 00:00 01/01/2024 12:21 01/01/2024 13:20 3581
01/01/2024 00:00 01/01/2024 13:42 01/01/2024 14:43 3627

 

Formula:

hoursFormatted = Format(data[duration],"hh:nn:ss","en-GB")

 

Result:

 

can anyone help?

thanks

    MarcusR1 Should just be:

     

    Duration = [end] - [start]

DurationFormatted = FORMAT([duration], "hh:mm:ss")
