Convert date from YYYYMMDDHHMM to HH:MM

‎04-15-2019 10:40 AM

Hello,

 

I have a date in form of text that I'd like to turn into hours and minutes only. (HH:MM)

 

Example 

 

201904151015 to 10:15

 

Any idea how to do this?

@bouyazbekj if it is datetime field then you can use format

 

 MyTime = FORMAT( Table[Your Date Time Column], "HH:MM" )

Hi,

 

So, you're saying it's a text column? Well, I'd do it in Power Query. I'd go to Transform > Split Column > By Number of Characters. Choose 8 characters. Then in the split column that has the hours and minutes part as "1015", just change the type to time.
