Hi @JKPrasannaD ,

You can add a custom column as below in Power Query Editor to get it:

= DateTime.ToText( [Refresh] , "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm")

In addition, you can refer the following links to get it.

If the above ones can't help you, could you please provide some raw data in your table (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
