All you need is use this measure

_Measure HH:mm:SS =
VAR vHoursDecimal = 1111,12 // HOURS!!! not seconds
VAR vHours = INT ( vHoursDecimal )
VAR vMinutesDecimal = 60 * ( vHoursDecimal - vHours )
VAR vMinutes = INT ( vMinutesDecimal )
VAR vSeconds = ROUND ( 60 * ( vMinutesDecimal - vMinutes ), 0 )
VAR vHH = IF ( LEN ( vHours ) = 1, "0" & vHours, vHours )
VAR vMM = IF ( LEN ( vMinutes ) = 1, "0" & vMinutes, vMinutes )
VAR vSS = IF ( LEN ( vSeconds ) = 1, "0" & vSeconds, vSeconds )
RETURN
    CONVERT ( vHH & vMM & vSS, INTEGER )

 

 

and then change measure fomating, just typing 00:00:00

Hi @Digger 

 

PBI won't plot time on the Y axis like that.  The best you'll get is this

I don't think this quite works. It interprets your values as integers and that doesn't log well on the Y axis. The convert function at the end just concatenates the 3 parts into a single integer. So 59 minutes becomes 5900, 1 hour becomes 10000, and they plot as integers at those values. Your graph is then skewed.
