Hi, one of the workarounds would be creating a function using below M,
(DateText as text) as datetime => let Day = Text.Start(DateText, 2), Month = Text.Middle(DateText, 3, 3), Year = Text.Middle(DateText, 7, 2), Time = Text.End(DateText, 8), FullDate = Day & " " & Month & " 20" & Year & " " & Time, ConvertedDate = DateTime.FromText(FullDate) in ConvertedDatethen invoke it in Table.TransformColumns()
let Source = Source, ConvertedTable = Table.TransformColumns( Source, {{"Column1", each Convert(_), type datetime}} ) in ConvertedTable- MasonMA
