    Hi paolomint ,

     

    Sorry for my late reply,

    let
    Source = #table(type table[Data = text],List.Zip({{"9,00","7,30","8,59","12,45","17,20"}})),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(Source, "Data", Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({","}, QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Hour", "Minute"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Hour", Int64.Type}, {"Minute", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Time.From(#datetime(1899, 12, 30, [Hour], [Minute], 12)))
in
    #"Added Custom"

     

    If it is in decimal format, there is no comma in Power BI, so I think it may be in text format.

     

    The original data is text similar to 9,00. I first divide the hour and minute into two columns based on the comma, then convert the hour and minute columns into whole number types, and then convert them to time.

     

    You can check more details from here.

     

     

    Best Regards,

try this

 

Table.AddColumn(Origine, "hour", each DateTime.Time(#datetime(1,1,1,Number.From(Text.Split([Colonna1],","){0}),Number.From(Text.Split([Colonna1],","){1}),0)))
