My source data is following
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtQ1ACGlWB0krpFSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type date}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Durations(#duration(0, 0, 0, 0), 24, #duration(0, 1, 0, 0))),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
#"Expanded Custom"
How can I reach here by creating a concatenation of Column1 and Custom which will yet be a datetime column
| Column1 | Custom | datetime |

Thank you in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
let

#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type datetime}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.DateTimes( [Column1], 24, #duration(0, 1, 0, 0))),

in
#"Changed Type2"
Date and Time can be directly concatenated by "&" operator; thus, create a series of hours by List.Times,
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtQ1ACGlWB0krpFSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
#"Added Times" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Time", each List.Times(#time(0, 0, 0), 24, #duration(0, 1, 0, 0))),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Times", "Time"),
#"Concatenated DateTime" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "DateTime", each [Date] & [Time])
in
#"Concatenated DateTime"
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
