Hi everyone.
I have some issues dealing with durations. For example, I have a column with the seniority of a worker in the format "X y. Ym" representing X number of years and Y number of months (ex: 2y. 4m). How can I transform this column to make it a duration ? PBI doesn't detect "y" as a year and "m" as a month.
Also how to change the format of a duration into days, hours or minutes ? When you change a column with numbers into a duration, it automatically converts the number in minutes and I don't see how to change it to make it shaped as days, hours or minutes
Thank in advance for your help 🙂

Solved! Go to Solution.
@VictorFR04 solution is attached, lot of transformation is done to get the final result. Thought process is to get year and month inseperate columns and then it is easier to calculate any unit.

The data is in text format like below :
2y. |
1y. 3m. |
1y. 3m. |
3m. |
3y. 2m. |
4y. |
3m. |
3y. |
7y. 3m. |
1y. 11m. |
I want Power BI to convert those data as duration. But when I try it shows errors.
@VictorFR04 when you say duration, what does that means? Hours/Minutes/Seconds/Week/Days???

@parry2k In Months would be good for those kind of data, because it goes from 1 months to several years. So how do I convert text/number data type to months data type ?
But I would also be interested in knowing how to convert numbers into days, hours and minutes.
I was saying "duration" because t's one of the data type suggested by Power BI
Thank you
