25 hours day (DST time switch)

Is there a way to "teach" power bi how to manage 23- and 25-hours days?

I have a daily graph generated autimatically from data extracted from a Business system; now if I extract 24 values for a given day eveything is OK, I'm confused how should I represent the 25 hours day that happens once a year when moving from DST to Solar time.

Can someone help?

    Hi mauslyon ,

     

    From a data perspective, there still are 24 hours in a day except that your second hour of the day is taking 120 minutes instead of 60.

    From a user perspective, I would expect a peak in the data during 2 and 3 AM in the data but I wouldn't expect a 25th hour in a day.

     

    That is at least the experience I have with switching to DST.
