Hi @Frixel 

try

Date Column = DATEVALUE(MID([Timestamp Column], 2, 10))

and

Time Column = TIMEVALUE(MID([Timestamp Column], 13, 8))

then format its columns as a date and time respectively in Column tools ribbon

Hi @Frixel ,

According to my understanding, you want to split the Timestamp column into Date column and Time column without “(”,”)”,right?
For my example, I did it in two ways.

1.Using the following formula:

Date column =
LEFT ( SUBSTITUTE ( [Timestamp], "(", "" ), 10 )

Time column =
RIGHT ( SUBSTITUTE ( [Timestamp], ")", "" ), 7 )

And then change the two columns’ Data type from “Text” into “Date” and “Time” separately.

My example visualization looks like this:

2.Apply some steps in Query Editor(Advanced Editor)

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W0jDTNTLVNTIwMlAwsLQyNLIyMtJUitUBSljoGhljlTA00DUwh8sYG1gZGABlYgE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [TimeStamp = _t]),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"(","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"TimeStamp"}),
    #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value",")","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"TimeStamp"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value1",{{"TimeStamp", type datetime}}),
    #"Inserted Date" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Date", each DateTime.Date([TimeStamp]), type date),
    #"Inserted Time" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Date", "Time", each DateTime.Time([TimeStamp]), type time)
in
#"Inserted Time"

Are these results what you want? If you have any questions, please upload some data samples and expected output.
