Direct Query limitation on Time()

[PowerrrBrrr]

Hi,
I have a table fetchind data using direct query and it has a timestamp column. I would like to convert the timestamp to another time zone. the way i would do it in import mode would be to create a custom column and add Duration like this
[timestamp] + #duration(3,0,0)
How can i do this with direct query since direct query do not support creating custom column and I cant find a way to add measure here?

Hi, @PowerrrBrrr ;

You could create a measure  as follows:

TimeTampe2 = MAX([timestamp])+TIME(3,0,0)

Here you use "[timestamp] + #duration(3,0,0)" which is #duration(0,3,0,0) ? if so, the above formula fits, if not, you can modify the time yourself.

The final output is shown below:

@v-yalanwu-msft Did you bring timestamp column from a direct query table? I did the same as mentioned by you and I get error as
"OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] PostgreSQL: 42000: MatchExpr:getColumnNames:Unhandled column As (Function ("max", [Ident "rows.timestamp"]), Ident "a0").
"

Hi @PowerrrBrrr 

You might want to add a

• Table with a generic Timestamp column like the one you have in your Fetched table.
• To the new table add a column with the duration you want to add(can't do it in power query though)
• Relate the 2 tables on the Timestamp columns
• You should get something close to this

@aj1973  creating a calculated table using a DAX expression is not supported in DirectQuery mode.
