DateTime Conversion

[Giripavan]

Hello All,

I am getting data from an API using powerquery. Result is a JSON file which we are expanding into columns. One of the column is CreateDate which is of format "yyyy-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.ms"

Ex: 2021-06-29T00:52:19.343

This column is being considered as Text in the report, when I am trying to convert it to datetime, it is not able to convert it automatically and giving error as "We can't automatically convert the column to Date/Time type".

Is there any way to convert this column to date time?

Thanks,

Giripavan.

@Giripavan , try if you can use DateTime.FromText in new column.

This should take this time as per example in

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/datetime-fromtext

else replace T using Text.Replace

example 

DateTime.FromText (Text.Replace([DT], "T", " "))
