time and date column in one
I have two different columns
In the first: Date
For example: 19.06.2018
In the second: Time
For example: 09:49:40
For my analysis I need the following in one collum: 19.06.2018 09:49:40
Can someone help me and tell me how can I combine these two collums?
Hi Anonymous
You can use Transform > Merge Columns in Query editor, below is the M code and attached file with example.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMrTUMzDTMzIwtFDSUTKwtDIBIgOl2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, time = _t]), #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"date", type text}, {"time", type text}}, "en-GB"),{"date", "time"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.None),"datetime"), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Merged Columns",{{"datetime", type datetime}}) in #"Changed Type"Or add a column with DAX expression.
datetime = 'Table DAX'[date] + 'Table DAX'[time]
