Dear Experts,

Could you please share what wrong I am doing here.
Thanks & Regards

Yes, we can't sum datetime. We could find, for example, min or max for it. Use source as numbers, sum and apply datetime format to resulting field.

Thanks SergeiBaklan​ , I added that option "Add this data to the Data Model" during Pivot, but get below error:-
While I already changed the Data type to Custom hh:mm:ss:.000

In addition. Cached PivotTable round milliseconds (as well as formula bar,
)
One workaround is to work with data model as Detlef explained. Another way is to apply to Time-diff column General format, create cached PivotTable and apply to the result custom number format with milliseconds. (or created copy of TimeDiff column in the table formatted as General and build PivotTable using it).

The values in your pivot table are all 0. It seems that a regular pivot table cannot deal with that small numbers.
Try a data model pivot table instead. It works for me.
Thanks Detlef_Lewin​ for your response, could you please share the steps along with the attached worksheet .
Thanks & Regards

Go to Insert > PivotTable. In the "Create PivotTable" dialog box, select your table range and be sure to check the box that says "Add this data to the Data Model" before clicking OK.
