Power BI Duration with days 2.14:49:15.6730000 INTO only time - But How?

[Melih]

Hey everyone, 

i need your help. I receive raw data from our system, which I load into Power BI. The duration is displayed in a column in the following format "2.14:49:15.6730000". The 2 stands for days, the 14 for hours and 49 for minutes and 15 for seconds. But I need the following format (Hours:Minutes:seconds) "62:49:15" (2 days x 24 +14 hours equals 62). i need this column not as a String. Because i have to sum  the time up.

I hope someone can help me. 

Thank you very much. 

Kind regards

Melih

Hi @Melih, it is possible also in Power Query.

Result

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtIzNLEysbQyNNUzMzc2AAKl2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    Ad_TimeFormatted = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Time Formatted", each 
        [ a = Time.FromText(Text.BetweenDelimiters([Column1], ".", "."), [Format="hh:mm:ss", Culture="en-US"]),
          b = Number.From(Text.BeforeDelimiter([Column1], ".")),
          c = Text.From(b*24 + Time.Hour(a)) & ":" & Time.ToText(a, [Format="mm:ss"])
        ][c], type text)
in
    Ad_TimeFormatted

Hi @Melih ,

The Duration type loaded to the desktop will change to the Decimal type in days. You can still use the SUM function for aggregation:

Total Time = SUM('Table'[Time])

Use this measure when outputting results:

Format total time = 
VAR __all_seconds = [Total Time] * 24 * 60 * 60
VAR __hours = INT( DIVIDE( __all_seconds , 3600 ) )
VAR __remaining_second = MOD( __all_seconds, 3600 )
VAR __minutes = INT( DIVIDE( __remaining_second, 60 ) )
VAR __seconds = INT( __remaining_second - __minutes * 60 )
VAR __result = __hours&":"&__minutes&":"&__seconds
RETURN
__result

Treat the duration as a number.  The integer part will be the days and the fraction part will be the rest. 

Then do your summation.  

Then use FORMAT to display  the string

result = ROUNDDOWN([value]*24,0) & FORMAT([Value]":nn:ss")
