Create a Timestamp from multiple columns in power query
Hello, I'm relatively new to Power BI. I am pulling in data from an API source, which separates out date and time into multiple columns. The data looks like this... Year Month Day Hour ...

you can just concatenate the time-value with the date-value like so:
DateTime.From(#date([Year],[Month],[Day]) & #time([Hour],0,0))

Hi Anonymous ,
This will get you part of the way. Go to Add Column tab, Custom Column. Not sure how the Hour is converted, though.
Let me know if you have any questions.
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.

This does work for the date piece. I tried using Time.From([Hour]), but I'm getting an error on everything less than 10. Is it a formatting issue?
