RE: field of "duration" type

time calculation part is very essential for every business and in production based business and it is very high priority based so if we can get the Time Intelligence function in power bi then it will also help us to improve our key points of business to understand where we are lacking in production.

For all the work put into Time Intelligence functions, the fact that this is missing is unsettling.

Would be an amazing addition to graph based on duration in minutes/ seconds for tracking performance metrics. Would greatly appreciate it!

Would like better duration / time period calculations periods please. Would also like to be able to easily graph different times based on date.

Time formatted filed should be used with Sum, Avg function its common use of every one. Please also provide dynamic nature with sum, summarize function from Slicers.

RE: field of "duration" type

Hello Team ,

Our organization have more than 200 power bi users had an review from almost all of them are looking for Duration Data Type, in a lot of scenarios we wish to see the average of time and other calculations which is very important during Analysis of the Services we work upon.
It would be way more beneficial if Power Bi has the capability to do that like in Excel .

Thanks
Dixit
