Error message when converting unix time

[harshali]

I have a dataset coming from an SQL server in PowerBI. The dataset is currently 21,000+ rows. There is a column that has a Unix timestamp which I am trying to convert to regular timestamp. I am using the below formula:

#datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) + #duration(0, 0, 0, [value])

When typing in the formula, BI does not show any error with the formula, however, when executed the following error message comes up:

"Expression.Error: The Duration operation failed because the resulting duration falls outside the range of allowed values."

How can I either expand the range or use a different formula that will not result in an error message?

@harshali,

You can add a custom column

#datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) + #duration(0, 0, 0, [UnixTime]/1000)
