Solved! Go to Solution.
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"

@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"

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.
