Date/Time Format

[daw7560]

I am having issues with getting a date/time format to appear correctly in Power Bi. The first picture is my excel file as a single column in a Date format that shows time, m/dd/yy hh:mm. Then when I connect the excel file to Power Bi, the same column is displayed as a date format only, shown in the second picture. Then I transform this column as a date/time format to show both, but the problem is it displays the wrong time. Everything is 12am now, shown in the third picture. I have tried to change the format in model view in the table and tried doing Locale format transformation.

Does anyone know how to get Power Bi to display the correct date/time format from this excel source? I am guessing I need to split the columns in excel giving a date format to one and time format to another, then merge them again in Power Bi.

Hi @daw7560 ,

Try turning off auto data type detection

Then manually convert it to a Date/time type.

Hi @daw7560 

Do you perform the type transformation or it is automatically done by Power BI? What I mean is in the steps on the right, you should go to the changed type and remove the step. Then, you should have data as in your Excel file
