Reducing Characters in Time Duration
I created a time signature for how long it took our team to complete a segment within our process. But it has given me a ton of numbers at the end of the duration. This may be a rookie question but for the life of me, I cannot shorten this to be just a normal time signature.
Hi Anonymous
First extract value before the second ".", then transform this column to Duration type again.

Anonymous Try below. Note, I used Colum from examples.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WstQzMLUyNLAysdCzNDM1AAKlWJ1oJQs9I2MrY3MrI0s9QxMjJGEDAyugjImRnqWlMUQ4FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type duration}}), #"Inserted Text Before Delimiter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Text Before Delimiter", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(Text.From([Column1], "en-US"), ".", 1), type text), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Inserted Text Before Delimiter",{{"Text Before Delimiter", type duration}}) in #"Changed Type1"Hi Anonymous
