field of "duration" type

[dwu5]

is it possible to add support for "duration" data type in the report view as in Power Query?

[JOutlaw]

For anywhere that operates a call center, being able to show duration is an absolute must!

Power Query has a Duration data type and dedicated functions to analyse durations, but in the Data View for Reports it gets converted to a decimal part of a day - e.g. 20 seconds shows as 0.00:00:20 in Power Query but as 0.000231481 in Reports. And to manipulate it needs convoluted DAX - e.g. http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Aggregating-Duration-Time/ba-p/22486

We need this to graphically represent times as well as having text durations.

Can't operate Power BI in a call centre environment without durations!

[vino_mahavira]

Need to make graph about duration time

[Maurgi]

Same issue, see here - all you need to test this is a SQL query that returns a TIME type. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Can-t-use-SQL-TIME-as-Duration/m-p/97180

Power BI are missing a trick by not having this in! As others say it's really essential for contact centres and Power BI is such a great way of displaying data to teams like this their product dev/sales teams really need to get it sorted.

This is a really essential feature for the Google Analytics pack. I hope they do it soon!
