Time format issue

[cham]

Hi,

I have data set in Excel. It includes one column in total time. When I calculate the sum of the total time it gives me 

242:27:07

But when i get that sheet into Power BI and get the sum of the total time it will give me following,

I want to know how to change that. If I can show it in "DD:HH:MM: SS" it will be fine. Also if i can show it in "HHH:MM: SS" it will be also fine. How can I get that in Power BI?

Regards,

Cham

Hi @cham ,

Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

Sample data:

Create below measure:

Measure = var a=SUMX('Table1',HOUR('Table1'[Time])*3600+MINUTE('Table1'[Time])*60+SECOND('Table1'[Time])) 
return RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( a / 3600 ), 2 )
& ":"
& RIGHT (
"0"
& INT ( ( a - INT (a / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ),
2
)
& ":"
& RIGHT ( "0" & MOD (a , 3600 ), 2 )

Result:

Hi,

This is not correct. Please check the below screenshot. When I got the SUM in Excel it shows me different total time. When I get the SUM in power BI it shows me different total time. 

And aslo the the measure you used shows different total time. Can you explain this?

Hi @cham ,

What is your formula in your excel, it could work on my side:

In Power BI, it will transform the time to date automatically, it is by design, so I used the measure to show the sum of the time.

Sorry for my carelessness, I have modified my formula:

Measure = var a = SUMX('Table1',HOUR('Table1'[Time])*3600+MINUTE('Table1'[Time])*60+SECOND('Table1'[Time]))

return

RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( a / 3600 ), 2 )

& ":"

& RIGHT (

"0"

& INT ( ( a - INT (a/ 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ),

2

)

& ":"

& a-INT ( ( a - INT (a / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 )*60-(RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( a / 3600 ), 2 ))*3600

Hi,

Normally when i click on user it will show me the correct total time of that particular user.

But when I SUM total time it will not show me the correct total. When I get the SUM of the total in Excel it will show me below total. I think Power BI is not showing like that because of the format. So, how can I get the correct total time in Power BI? 

After i use your formula it will give me below screen shot (Measure 2)

Hi @cham ,

I could not figure which oucome you want to get:

The first one:

Or the second one:

I could give you all of the measure:

The first one:

Measure 2 = SUM(Table1[Time])

The second one:

Measure = var a = SUMX('Table1',HOUR('Table1'[Time])*3600+MINUTE('Table1'[Time])*60+SECOND('Table1'[Time]))  
 return 
RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( a / 3600 ), 2 )
& ":"
& RIGHT (
"0"
& INT ( ( a - INT (a/ 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 ),
2
)
& ":"
& a-INT ( ( a - INT (a / 3600 ) * 3600 ) / 60 )*60-(RIGHT ( "0" & INT ( a / 3600 ), 2 ))*3600

Result:

You could also download my pbix and excel file to have a try.
