Good morning, I hope you're all right.
My problem is that with a table I have, I have to do operations with some fields that from the database come as
String and had this column to get a data:
HORA FINAL = IF(ISBLANK([hora8])=FALSE();[ hora8];IF(ISBLANK([hora7])=FALSE();[ hora7];IF(ISBLANK([hora6])=FALSE();[ hora6];IF(ISBLANK([hora5])=FALSE();[ hora5];IF(ISBLANK([hora4])=FALSE();[ hora4];
IF(ISBLANK([hora3])=FALSE();[ hora3];IF(ISBLANK([hora2])=FALSE();[ hora2];" Solo hay 1 registro")))))))
But since I need the time format data, I made the change and the column prints me the following error:
use to define calculated columns
Here is a sample of the data:
Thanks for reading.

Hi , @Y-Hernandez99P
This error often occurs when you try to use both one type value (text) and another type value(time) in one calculate column so power bi can't auto analysis data type of this calculated column.
Here are some points to note.
1.replace all "" as null in query editor
2.change all of your date column Datatype from "time" to "text"
3. due to " There is only one record" is text type , so make sure your calculate column data type is text rather than time
The result is as followings.
Here is a demo.
