    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
    Custom1

 

Calculated 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:

 

Best Regards

Allan
