    is it possible to add support for "duration" data type in the report view as in Power Query?

    This is a very necessary part of calculating total call times, their durations, and their averages. Much needed addition!

    Need duration that includes: days h:mm:ss and some folks also need the ms on the end. Most of my durations exceed 24 hours, so days is a critical component.

    This should be standard - please consider immediately for next release at end of Feb!

    RE: field of "duration" type

    Seems like a easy fix, what do I know. I do know however that I expected this to be a standard thing.

    RE: field of "duration" type

    That would be great to have available this feature in Power BI.
    I've seen many requests about this subject.
    As far as I know, that request is so far suggested and until now i't's not been applied, I think that maybe can be a technical issue.

    RE: field of "duration" type

    Agreed! It is a lovely duration in Power Query, so why can't it also appear in Power Pivot?! Need duration that includes: days h:mm:ss and some folks also need the ms on the end. Most of my durations exceed 24 hours, so days is a critical component.
    Thank you!!
