Formatting Text Time

Hi everyone. I'm trying to convert a text column that houses TIME information and convert it to show hour, but all the functions I use don't seem to be working. I tried making a measure and columns, but nothing is working for me.

 

StatusTime

112730
113803
113909
114011
114724
125018

 

Example: I want 125018 to show 12:00, 114724 would show 11:00. Can anyone help me with this?

It says "

This query contains transformations that can't be used for DirectQuery.

Hi @majinvegito123, ¿Do you have tried something like this?:

- Text Column:

Bifinity_75_2-1667334051461.png

- In Power Query,  in your text column, transform to Hours Format:

Bifinity_75_0-1667333985794.png

- The result is:

Bifinity_75_1-1667334016046.png

Best regards
