Concert duration to format DD HH MM SS
Hello I'm new to Power BI and I would like to know if there is a way to convert in the Power Query editor the time format DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS to a more readable format like DD HH:MM:SS?
Thank you in advance
Hi. Have you tried in the edit queries to change data type to "Time"?

Hi Anonymous ,
You could try below M code to see whether it work or not(because there is no time format like DD hh:mm:ss ,this will convert it to text instead of time)
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtA31DdUMDSyMjKwMjRVitWBihrrmyoYGloZGAARQtRSH6gkFgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type datetime}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each DateTime.ToText([date], "dd HH:mm:ss")) in #"Added Custom"Best Regards,
