Hi,
I'm new to Power BI and to the forum.
I'm pulling data from a PostgreSQL database where one of the fields is a Java Jodatime Period representation. (https://www.joda.org/joda-time/)
As can be seen from the screenshot below, this is stored in a varchar(255) as PT30M (representing a Period of 30 minutes. Jodatime Period in Database
Has anyone ever worked with converting Jodatime Date/Time representations to something that can be interperted by Power BI?
Thanks!

Hi Marius,
That appears to have done the trick. Thanks!
However, the new Custom Column I just created is of type Text.
It would be great if it could be formatted to type Time
I've tried the following to convert it to Time
Time.FromText([parsed_total_time])
But it's giving an error:
Why is the error stating that it cannot convert the value to type Text, when I'm asking it to convert it to a type Time?
Many thanks,
Donal.
