Hello, i've imported some date/time data into BI in the format
Arrival Date | Departure Date |
24/03/2018 14:14:50 | 25/04/2018 04:15:07 |
16/06/2018 16:09:13 | 17/06/2018 13:12:15 |
However, in BI outside the query editor the time part of the data is just showing as zeros (as below) for the vast majority of the data set except a small part - I can't get the time data to display. The column data types are date/time.
Arrival Date | Departure Date |
24/03/2018 00:00:00 | 25/04/2018 00:00:00 |
16/06/2018 00:00:00 | 17/06/2018 00:00:00 |
In short I don't know why this is happening. I simply want to display the data as it appears in the query editor.
Let me know any suggestions on how to fix this!
Thanks!

Hi @v-kelly-msft, thanks very much for your help. After a lot of head scratching, it seems that the problem was due to one inconsistently formatted csv file that had DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS instead of YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS. The pbix contained multiple csv's but the inconsistent format within the same column was causing this issue in BI.
Thanks for your solution I will keep this in mind if I encounter similar issues. Thanks
Hi @Tom_G,
Go to query editor>applied steps>Changed Type,removed the content I marked in red:
Then do the following steps:
Right click on the column>Change Type>Using Locale(English Palau):
As tested here,if you directly change the column in query editor to datetime format,it will return errors:
Try the method I provided above to see whether it can solve the issue.
Best Regards,
Kelly

@Tom_G , I doubt that can happen unless there is step in power query that is changing the data type to date(only date in power query)
