In Power Query, how do I convert a duration to total hours & minutes.
For example 252.14:19:26.4230000 becomes 6062:19 and 42.07:02:28.9700000 becomes 1015:02
Many Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use this in a custom column
= Text.From(Number.IntegerDivide(Duration.TotalHours([Time]),1)) & ":" & Text.PadStart(Text.From(Number.Round(60*Number.Mod(Duration.TotalHours([Time]),1),0)),2,"0")
See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjI10jM0sTK0tDIy0zMxMjYAAqVYnWglEyM9A3MrAyMrIws9S3MDiHgsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Time = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Time", type duration}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.From(Number.IntegerDivide(Duration.TotalHours([Time]),1)) & ":" & Text.PadStart(Text.From(Number.Round(60*Number.Mod(Duration.TotalHours([Time]),1),0)),2,"0"))

#"Added Custom"
Thanks very much Vijay. I made a slight adjustement to get exactly what I needed.
