Hi @rlama 

You need to mark it as duration, not time. Either in Excel or Power Query. It seems to be a little bit touch.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Use format d "days" h:mm:ss or [h]:mm:ss, depending on your needs.

Say you have a duration of 30h 12m 54s:


[h]:mm:ss -> 30:12:54
d "days" h:mm:ss -> 1 days 6:12:54

@Nathaniel_C thank you for the response but when I am trying to change it as duration it is giving me an error.

@rlamaSo, you are changing it to smallest unit? For example, 00:10:10 to 70s(seconds)?
