RE: field of "duration" type

This is an astonishing absence...I'm aghast that this wasn't included within the original spec for PowerBI, and even more so to learn of it's continued absence.

This is a common thing that most of other reporting tools are having. Please add the duration time as a type and allow to put Avg, Max, Min and the value as such to show in graphs.

RE: field of "duration" type

Excel allows you to format time using values greater than 24 hours, why isn't this possible in Power BI? even if you use one of the work-arounds, when you export the data, its a text field and you can't sum the values in excel.

RE: field of "duration" type

Power BI and Google Analytics should be best friends forever.... and for that, we need a proper format for duration time, with the ability to properly calculate aggregates of duration time. Need. It. Badly.
