Column of type Time, when exporting data to .xlsx recognizes it as Date

[Syndicate_Admin]

Greetings community.

My problem is as follows, from Power BI Desktop I have changed the data type from 2 columns (Start Time and End Time) to Time.

However, when you export the data from Power BI Online, the file .xlsx recognizes it as Date.

I know that it could be modified from the downloaded file, but the idea is that the export is done correctly.

In advance, thank you very much for the support.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

You can try working with the data type in the Query Editor first.

You can use the Split Column function in query editor .

If you want to use the dax, you could try:

Column = LEFT('Table1'[Time],20)

Here is a similar thread that you can check to see if it helps you：

Hi @Syndicate_Admin  @JGALVEZ 

In the XLSX file it's actually a Date Time, you can see the time is 15:00:00, it's just displaying as a date.  When the time is exported it is give the default date portion which is what your file is displaying.  Change the column back to Time in Excel to remove the date part.
