RE: field of "duration" type

There's no way to format a duration field in the report. It just comes as a fixed decimal number, which is useless.
Please solve it!

A real disappointment this function doesn't exist on PowerBI. Been Battling with this for days now....although we wouldn't be able to show how much time on a visual......

RE: field of "duration" type

I just had to tell a potential customer at our organization's call center that we would not be able to meet his reporting needs because our data analytics platform did not support aggregating call times in visualizations. They were disappointed, to say the least, and so was I. This is a vitally important feature for so many service lines. I urge the Power BI dev team to put this idea on their priority list.

RE: field of "duration" type

Is anyone from the Power BI team going to comment on this? How many of your users have a requirement to plot durations on a chart?
