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

I need to sum tiny fast durations into hh:mm:ss total durations as axes on charts!

I am new to PowerBI and having duration so you can easily use hh:mm:ss and create a measure or calculation is very necessary. I am trying to use PowerBI for Call Center data.

RE: field of "duration" type

Anyone working with e.g. call data with many kinds of duration is pretty much hopeless. You guys put some work into it please.

Duration in PowerQuery works a treat. Looks fantastic.
And then totally lost when loaded into Power BI.
Any chance you might finish the job and add genuine duration data type in Power BI now?

Much needed, rather than extensive calculation
