Change Date Time Format in Power Query Editor

[Anonymous]

I have a text type column which contains the date time in format (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS).

When I try to change the column data type to Date/Time, it shows error since Power BI accepts only (MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS).

What can be done here ? How to change the formats ?

Please help.

Hello there @Anonymous ! This happens due to the timezone configuration for your Power BI desktop or this report specifically. You can either go to your setting s and change the timezone configurations or do so in Power Query Editor. Please refer to the following thread with a similar problem for a solution:
