RE: field of "duration" type

I've just tried to upload information into Power BI the hours are in the [h]:mm:ss however it cannot cope with this format and anyone working over 24 hours are now showing incorrectly.

Can you please add this.

Please add this as an option for Time formatting in Power BI - [h]:mm:ss

I should be able to use this just as I do in Excel.

This is a really essential feature for the Google Analytics pack. I hope they do it soon!

Power BI are missing a trick by not having this in! As others say it's really essential for contact centres and Power BI is such a great way of displaying data to teams like this their product dev/sales teams really need to get it sorted.

Same issue, see here - all you need to test this is a SQL query that returns a TIME type.

RE: field of "duration" type

We need this to graphically represent times as well as having text durations.

Can't operate Power BI in a call centre environment without durations!

RE: field of "duration" type

Power Query has a Duration data type and dedicated functions to analyse durations, but in the Data View for Reports it gets converted to a decimal part of a day - e.g. 20 seconds shows as 0.00:00:20 in Power Query but as 0.000231481 in Reports. And to manipulate it needs convoluted DAX - e.g. http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Aggregating-Duration-Time/ba-p/22486
