    Hi, mayans 

     

    I try it, my dataflow without a data model can be changed. As long as the power query in desktop can be opened, it should be changed to the duration type. Of course, you can also recombine the split columns, as long as you can use powerquery in the desktop, there are many ways. You can check it.

Hi, mayans 

 

The dataflow indeed doesn't support duration type data.  Maybe you can consider to split it to multiple columns with numeric format. 

Reference: Dataflows Limitations, restrictions and supported connectors and features - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

If it doesn't solve the problem, Please feel free to ask me.
