Excel Power Query equivalent for an excel formula

Question

Hi there,

I am super new to Power Query in Excel and hoping to get some help. I am not sure if what I am asking is possible or not but thought I'd reach out and ask.

I have a column in an excel power query with hours represented in a decimal format. In addition, these are negative hours.

For example.

-0.65

-7.5

-0.083333333

Using an excel formula such as "=IF(F2<0, "-" & TEXT(ABS(F2),"hh:mm"), F2)" I am able to return a correct text format representation of what I need

For example,

-0.65 = -00:39

-7.5 = -07:30

-0.083333333 = -00:05

Is there an equivalent way of achieving this using Power Query in Excel?

If yes can someone assist me with steps and / or formula?

Thanks in advance.
