Duration import from Excel incorrect
I set my column in Excel to hh:mm:ss, but when it imported into Power BI it is 12/31/1899 12:00:00AM. What's the magic step to get my minutes and seconds back in my Power BI query editor? I'm a new ...
Anonymous try using the "Time" instead of duration.
If you still get an error/ not the result that is required.
then, use the use "Split Colum"-> "By Delimiter"-> "left-most delimeter" ->use space as the delimiter.
you will get two columns, one with date and one with time along with AM/PM. in the time column, change the type and see if it is resolved.
let me know
Ok closer. The time is almost correct. If it says 12:04:54 the number I actually need is 04:54. however I don't get the option to split the column when the type is Time.
