Hello,
I want to get an average duration and change the format, any ideas ? i try many things put ended up with an issue...
I also would like to change the format so it is HH:mm:ss,
Regards,
Neither Power Query nor Power BI have a duration format where Hours can be 24 or higher.
So you would need to create a Text String to show that kind of result.
The text string would not be usable as is in future calculations.
Here is some sample code:
let
Source = Table.FromColumns(
{
{#duration(0,0,26,4),
#duration(0,0,25,26),
#duration(0,0,33,42),
#duration(0,0,34,2),
#duration(0,2,17,10),
#duration(0,2,16,47),
#duration(0,17,29,50)}
}, type table[Durations=duration]),
avg = Duration.TotalHours(List.Average(Source[Durations])),
hrs = Number.IntegerDivide(avg,1),
tMin = Number.Mod(avg,hrs)*60,
min = Number.IntegerDivide(tMin,1),
sec = Number.Round(Number.Mod(tMin,min)*60,0),
fmt = Number.ToText(hrs * 10000 + min * 100 + sec,"00:00:00")
in
fmt
Result
03:26:09
Hello, @Anonymous try Time.From(Duration.TotalHours(List.Average(your_list)) / 24). But if Duration.TotalHours goes over 1 then you end up with error.
Hello,
Well i did ended up with an error, but thanks for trying
