I've managed to create a custom column which adds an hour to a datetime field by referencing it and adding + #duration(0,1,0,0)
What i'd like to do is instead transform the original column to add the hour there, as a lot of the rest of the report is driven by the first field and I'd rather not update all the references to a new vustom field - can this be done? Everything i've tried re: transform column hasn't worked

Hi @jasmith866 ,
Sorry for my misunderstanding...
You could use the following in Advanced Editor:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtC31DdUMDSwMgAhpVgduKiRgqEhpqixgqGRlTG6qImCpZWpKVBcKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [DateTime = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"DateTime", type datetime}}),
Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{"DateTime",each _+#duration(0,1,0,0)})
in
Custom1
Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.

Hi @jasmith866 ,
According to my understand, you want to create a new column which add a hour based on the original DateTime column , right?
1.In Power Query -->Add a custom column using the M code as follows:
2.Use the following DAX formula to add a new calculate column:
Column =
[DateTime] + 1 / 24
The final result looks like this:

Thanks for your reply. Not quite - i'm looking to transform the original column, not create a new one
