G = General date/time pattern

Power Bi uses the date/time and time zone on your device, usually it is auto setting, you can change the time zone in your PC setting.

Seems like general time format

please refer for more details

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings.

Also, just check that has power bi; got it like DateTime or text. Sometimes it shows like datetime but datatype is text.
