Hi There
I would like to convert the string formats below in my DATETIME column into a useable Date and Time Column such as 2023/06/16 22:45:00 , so Power Bi can recognise it as a real Date and time format for use. Thanks

Just select the that column & change datatype text to date/time. It automatically convert in date time formate
Hi there, unfortunatley that gave me error 😞 so trying adding a column and extracting the first 8 Characters. for date and then changing data type to date ( That seems to work ) and then Just trying the last 8 for time and its not working for data type change for time.. will keep trying
Try this one,
Go to transform tab, then
Click one from this , select date/time datatype .
