COMBINEVALUES in Databricks/Spark Direct Query cannot be folded
Hi,
As per our understanding, you want a Calculated Column in Power BI which include combined value from Unique ID and Timestamp column.
We can see in your Given Data the Date/Time is in 24.01.2023 00:06:28
which contains the " . " instead of the / but the Date Time Format in Power BI do not include any of the format using “.”
So, you need to first convert the current data into correct format by creating a new Calculated column for the Timestamp with Following Dax Expression:
New TimeStamps = SUBSTITUTE('Sample Table'[TIme Stamp],".","/")
Then Create the Desired Column CompositeKey Using the Below Dax Expression,
CompositeKey = COMBINEVALUES("-",'Sample Table'[Unique ID],FORMAT('Sample
Table'[New TimeStamps],"m/d/yy hh:nn:ss"))
This will result in combined values as shown in the below screenshot,

Hi,
Thanks for your answer, however the SUBSTITUTE Function is not available in direct query mode:
I dont believe this was the issue anyways, i think the "." instead of "/" is simply displayed this way because its the German standard, the column datetype is Date/Time in the model Tab:
I know its not easily possible to test with direct query mode but my issue is not reproducable in import mode.
