Hi @IvanSinelnyk ,

Text value could not be used in the Value field if want to show like x days x hours x minutes x seconds. You can create a meaure like this to use it as a tooltip:

Average = 
VAR _avg =
    AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Time value(s)] )
VAR _day =
    ROUNDDOWN ( _avg / 3600 / 24, 0 )
VAR _hour =
    ROUNDDOWN ( ( _avg - _day * 3600 * 24 ) / 3600, 0 )
VAR _minute =
    ROUNDDOWN ( ( _avg - _hour * 3600 ) / 60, 0 )
VAR _second =
    ROUND ( _avg - _hour * 3600 - _minute * 60, 2 )
RETURN
    _day & " Days " & _hour & " Hours " & _minute & " Minutes " & _second & " Seconds"

 Here I explane my probleme (2 minutes)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8kPc0CkZ14 

@IvanSinelnyk : The issue you might run into while converting into Day,Hour and Minutes are as follows

 

- your converted value would be text and you can not use them as value in the visuals

- There is no standard format such as "DDD:HH:MM"

 

Check out the following link, this will be useful to you.

I am assuming that you want to see average time on the visual (bar chart). You can go to "Analytics" after selecting this barchart visual, go to average line and add it.
