    Try a DAX as below.

    fmtCol = 
RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( TableName[Duration] / 3600 ), 2 )
    & ":"
    & RIGHT (
        "0"
            & INT ( ( TableName[Duration] - INT (TableName[Duration] / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ),
        2
    )
    & ":"
    & RIGHT ( "0" & MOD (TableName[Duration], 3600 ), 2 )

    Or deal with the format in query.

    select Duration, convert(varchar(10),DATEADD(second,Duration,0),108) fmtSecs from t1

Hi Eric_Zhang

 

I kinda stuck with the similar error when converting the seconds to duration (HH : MM : SS) format using the following query.

 

Select TimeinSeconds, from_unixtime(TimeinSeconds,"HH:mm:ss") as Duration
From Tablename

When I execute the above query in Impala, I'm getting the result as expected and the same query when I use to load the data into Power BI, I'm getting this "Token Comma Expected" error. Can you help me with this, please?
