Convert Timestamp into date-time

Goodday,

 

I have a CSV file withe a data-time field witch has the format (Jan 12, 2024 @ 19:39:03.793).

Is there a way to convert this format to a DD-MM-YYYY, HH:MM:SS  with a dax code?

After a import of a new dataset, the dataconvert works.

Thanks you for your help.

Well, you have two different formats of date in your data then. here's the updated DAX to handle both formats.

 

DateTime_Converted =
VAR textDateTime = datetimesample[datetime]
VAR containsTime = CONTAINSSTRING(textDateTime, "@")
VAR cleanedDateTime = SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(textDateTime, "@ ", ""), ",", "")
VAR datePart = IF(containsTime, LEFT(cleanedDateTime, LEN(cleanedDateTime) - 12), cleanedDateTime)
VAR timePartWithMilliseconds = IF(containsTime, RIGHT(cleanedDateTime, 12), "00:00:00")
VAR timePart = IF(containsTime, LEFT(timePartWithMilliseconds, 8), timePartWithMilliseconds) // Extracting only the HH:MM:SS part or default to 00:00:00 if no time part
RETURN
DATEVALUE(datePart) + TIMEVALUE(timePart)

thank you, de Time convert part works fine, but the Date part has a issue.  It says"Connot convert value 'Oct 31 2023' of type text to type Date.

Try this. Adjust the table and column name accordingly. This formula assumes that your original column is in text format.

 

DateTime_Converted =
VAR textDateTime = datetimesample[datetime]
VAR cleanedDateTime = SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(textDateTime, "@ ", ""), ",", "")
VAR datePart = LEFT(cleanedDateTime, LEN(cleanedDateTime) - 12)
VAR timePartWithMilliseconds = RIGHT(cleanedDateTime, 12)
VAR timePart = LEFT(timePartWithMilliseconds, 8)  // Extracting only the HH:MM:SS part
RETURN
    DATEVALUE(datePart) + TIMEVALUE(timePart)

Unfortunately this code doesn't work either, maybe I can send you a PBix?

Sure, that will help
