JSON datetime conversion in power query

Hi,

 

I am looking for 2 clear solutions.

 

1. Query for JSON string datetime conversion to datetime in PBI.

 

2. Can a ONE query be executed to convert multiple columns that are currently in JSON string datetime format ?

 

Thanks in advance for any solutions around this.

Need Help

    JSON doesn't have a standardized datetime string format. Are you talking about ISO-8601 ? Maybe show an example of your strings?

     

    And yes, transforms can be applied to multiple columns at the same time.

    Hi Anonymous , 

    If possible, could you please inform me more detailed information (such as your json sample and your expected output)? Then I will try to test this in my enviornment.

    Please do mask sensitive data before uploading.

    Thanks for your understanding and support.
    Best Regards,
