Hi @Anonymous
First split column
Then add a custom column
Custom= #datetimezone(Date.Year([#"date-act.1"]),Date.Month([#"date-act.1"]),Date.Day([#"date-act.1"]),Time.Hour([#"date-act.1"]),Time.Minute([#"date-act.1"]),Time.Second([#"date-act.1"]),-7,0)

Could you click on one of the errors and confirm what is the error message? It could be the records that are not a valid date time.

Hi
Will there any option to correct this.
Error pic attaching intoquestion section.
Looks like an issue due to the time zone designator in the data.
If PDT or PST is not necessary, you may try removing the last 3-4 characters from your date column and then parse the date.
If the timezone is required, you may try extracting the timezone characters from the date and replace those with the hours:minutes to be adjusted (+ -) and then combine the two to get datetimezone.
