Can you try to do it in the query editor first, and then load it to the designer?

This cannot be done in Query Editor since this is live data by using DirectQuery mode instead of Import data...

May I ask what data source you are using?

warehouse data of the company

When you go through Recent Sources button it may not ask for Direct Query, but can you try going through Get Data > ... and pick DirectQuery in there?

 

Or, when you load it into PBI Designer, you can right click > Edit, doesn't that work?

It is not working under Direct Query mode. Thank you for your help thoughSmiley Happy

Hi,

 

You can extract Hour from a Time Column in Direct query mode. But you can’t change its data type.

See my screenshots below.

 

1.  connect database with direct query mode.

2.  import a table with a time column.

3. Go to query editor. Extract Hour from test_time column.
