Julian Time Conversion

My data is imported from JDE. I have 2 separate columns for Date and Time. 

Eg:

Date: 121195

Time: 224012

 

How can I convert Time from Julian format to HH:MM:SS format? I want it as a separate column rather than a measure.

Hi @Anonymous 

I have a question to confirm . What does 121195 represent ? What does 224012 represent ? 

If the time format you want , what should be this time according to the data you provided ? You need to provide specific calculation logic so that we can provide the corresponding formula.

Data imported from JDE shows Date and Time in Julian format as separate columns

For Example:

I have the date as 119200 and I have another column with time stored as 161140.  I have managed to convert the date and I've got 19 July 2019 after conversion.

I used Power Query to get the Date:

 

#"Calendar Date Updated" = Table.AddColumn(#"Calendar Promised Ship", "Date Updated Cal", each #date(1900+Number.IntegerDivide([Date Updated], 1000),1,1)+#duration(Number.Mod([Date Updated], 1000)-1,0,0,0))

I'm not sure about how I can get time to be converted from the Julian format of 161140 to standard HH:MM:SS. I don't know what Julian time 161140 corresponds to in standard format.

Hi @Anonymous 

you may try

CONVERT ( TableName[Date], DATETIME ) + CONVERT ( TableName[Time], DATETIME )

That didn't work, unfortunately.

 

What I want is to fill the '?'. But what I'm getting is this Calculated Datetime.
