Change Date Time Format in Power Query Editor

I have a text type column which contains the date time in format (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS).

 

When I try to change the column data type to Date/Time, it shows error since Power BI accepts only (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS).

 

What can be done here ? How to change the formats ?

 

Please help.
