Converting SAP or Unix time stamp (with Micro-seconds)

I'm trying to convert the dates pulled out of SAP in M code to make data ready for reporting. Attached image will show the actual date format which is having micro seconds as well.   Is there a way...

    So let's day your SAP/UNIX datetime column is named SAPTime. If your most recent step is "LastStep", then in the formula bar, you would type:

     

    = Table.TransformColumns(LastStep, {{"SAPTime", each #datetime(1970,1,1,0,0,0) + #duration(0,0,0,[SAPTime])}})

     

    This says take the duration of these seconds, and add that to 1/1/1970 for each value in the SAPTime column.

    You cannot have seconds in decimals in date time type, You can just split the microseconds to another column, then you are able to change the date column to date type.
