Hi @MP_123

 

One way would be to define a measure of type Time:

 

TimeMeasure =
TIME ( 0, 0, [SecondsMeasure] )

(assuming your original measure is called SecondsMeasure).

You can then apply an appropriate format to the measure.

 

You could also use the FORMAT function if you are happy to have a Text measure.
