Hi Anonymous ,
You can change DateTime type in Power Query Editor.
= Text.From(Date.Day([SalesDate]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Month([SalesDate]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Year([SalesDate]))&" "&Text.From(Time.Hour([SalesDate]))&":"&Text.PadStart(Text.From(Time.Minute([SalesDate])),2,"0")
Best Regards,

Hi Anonymous ,

If your time is with the same minutes, for example, '9:00' and '10:00', you can change the expression like this:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", each Text.From(Date.Day([SalesDate]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Month([SalesDate]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Year([SalesDate]))&" "&Text.From(Time.Hour([SalesDate]))&":00")
