Dear all,
I'm facing a problem now as I input the data from Excel, the column "ATA" shows as Text instead of Date/Time (as "ATD) and cannot be shown as Date/Time.
But from Excel this two columns are in the same format and can even do calculations.
Any help would be appreciated.
Br,
Solved! Go to Solution.

The problem with the column ATA is, it has ":" at the end, do the following.
Go to: Transform > Extract > Text Before Delimiter and choose the options as I have done
Then change the column type to Date/Time.
Done

@javieezy Can you share the file or at least the code from Advanced Editor in Power Query Editor? Almost looks like the first column is getting truncated for some reason.
