Fairly new to the world of Power Query and BI but loving it. I am sure this has probably been asked and answered before but I have searched quite a bit and tried different things but have not had any success.

I receive a monthly excel file that I receive from a vendor that has Total Hours For Month. I go to clean up the file using Power Query but one thing it does that I don't want is to convert the Total Hours For Month Column

The column shows 184:17:03 (hhh:mm:ss)

When I pull the data into Power Query it converts it to 1/7/1900 4:17:03 PM. I change the type to Time but it just leaves the 4:17:03 PM. When I close and load back to Excel and change the column type in Excel to Custom, I end up with 16:17:03

Would appreciate any direction that can me keep the column with the correct data

Thanks

Jay
 
You are welcome

but I'm pretty sure that you'll re-enable this option sooner or later :devilish:

Have a nice day
