Re: Combine Date and time column into datetime column in calculated column

Hi Team,

 

Could you please help me to write a dax to combine date column and time column into datetime column.

 

I applied Different dax functions but i am not getting proper formate

For Example

1) Date column(dd-mm-yyyy) and datatype is date

2) Time column(hh:mm:ss) and datatype is time

3) After combine Date column and Time column i am getting below

   DateTime

03-11-2019 07:38:22
19-12-2017 05:30:00

 

In the above table one value(MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm:ss) and second value(DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss)

 

Any one please help me on this and this is very urgent issue.Issue with combine date and time columns.png

There are a few ways. But this what I think will work most of the time

Date in dd/mm/YYYY format

Time in hh24:mi:ss format

 

I create two formula and marked that as date time

 

Combine = mid(DD__MM__YY[Date],4,2) &"/"& left(DD__MM__YY[Date],2) & "/" & right(DD__MM__YY[Date],4) & " "& DD__MM__YY[ time]

Thanks for your prompt response. I tried using the syntax you suggested but unfortunately it didn't help.

Instead of desired format (19-12-2017 05:30:00), your solution gave the following result: (19/12/2017 12/19/2017).

 

Out of many other trial and error process, I finally used the following syntax to get desired result: 

Date: Old_ArrivalDate = IM_SR[ARRIVAL_TIME in GMT_New], Datetype: Date.
Time: Old_ArrivalTime = FORMAT(IM_SR[ARRIVAL_TIME in GMT_New],"hh:mm:ss"), Datatype: Time.
