Converting date/time to hours/minutes/seconds in DAX

I have a column of information that I need converted to number of seconds but the one issue I have is the source system providing the data, provides it in a particular format

 

1899-12-31 12:04:42AM should be converted to 4minutes and 42 seconds

1899-12-31 01:12:01AM should be converted to 1 hour, 12 minutes and 01 seconds.

 

Any ideas how I could write formulas to be able to chart this in graphs/tables.

Hi @Anonymous ,
In Power Query, add a column using this

(if Text.From(Time.Hour([Column1])) = "0" then "" else 
Text.From(Time.Hour([Column1]))&":")&Text.From(Time.Minute([Column1]))&":"&Text.From(Time.Second([Column1]))

to get thistime.PNG
