Error in calculating duration

[pawand23]

Hello Everyone,

I have a requirement where I have direct connection from SAP HANA  for Cube views. In one of the view, I have start date, end date, start time and end time. As this is direct query, all fields are getting detected as text fields. 

When I go to edit query mode, I can see date and time for each field as shown below,

As this is direct query, I can not change the data type. 

If I try to see those data in report, I see some fields got trimmed as shown below,

Can someone help me why this is happening. 

My end goal is to find duration by formula, [Field of type DATS.1][Field of type TIMS.1] -  [Field of type DATS][Field of type TIMS]

I can change type of date fields from modelling in menu bar but this is not working for time field. 

Can anyone help me how to calculate the duration with this setup.

@pawand23 ,

This issue should be caused by power bi can't recognize the date format very well. Suppose you are connecting to sql server in direct query mode, you can change the date format firstly on sql server side like pattern below and thek if this issue persists after connection in power bi:
