Hi ayoubb
for average with v-alq-msft solution you can try AVERAGE([TotalSecond column])
or
AVERAGEX(Table, HOUR([Time])*3600+MINUTE([Time])*60+SECOND([Time]) )

Hi, ayoubb
You mau try to create a custom in 'Query Editor' or create a calculated column/measure in Power BI Desktop. I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Table:
Query Editor:
You may create a custom column as below.Here is the code in 'Advanced Editor'.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjCwMjCzMjZQitWBcCyQOZZWhqZKsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Time = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Time", type time}}), Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type","TotalSecond",each Time.Hour([Time])*3600+Time.Minute([Time])*60+Time.Second([Time]) ) in Custom1Calculated column:
TotalSecond Column = HOUR([Time])*3600+MINUTE([Time])*60+SECOND([Time])Or
Measure:
TotalSecond Measure = var _time = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Time]) return HOUR(_time)*3600+MINUTE(_time)*60+SECOND(_time)Result:
