Output im looking for in column 3 is list of date and hours 

                                                       Column 3 

                                                      12/14/2023 10:00 

                                                      12/14/2023 11:00 

                                                       12/14/2023 12:00

                                                                    .

                                                                    .

                                                                    .  

                                                          12/15/2023 13:00

 

I tried Number.from (coumn 1)..Number from(column2) and it's not working. it is working when column only has date or only hour. 

Is there a way to create a list with both date hour ...please help

    Hi arsm ,

    Please change the M function into this:

    Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom.1", each List.DateTimes([Column1], Duration.TotalHours([Column2] - [Column1]) + 1 ,#duration(0,1,0,0)))


    Best Regards,

  • Hi arsm - this is how you can do it.

    Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Duration", each List.DateTimes([Column1], Number.From([Column2]) ,#duration(1,1,0,0)))
