Hello @kingkike 

if this is a text string, you can do that with some Text.Split and DateTime.From and Duration.From. Here a practical example

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTRNzTQNzIwNFIwtTIwACIFbQMjIKUUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each  DateTime.From(Text.Split([Column1],"+"){0}) + Duration.From(Text.Split([Column1],"+"){1}))
in
    #"Added Custom"

but I think that your data is a DateTimeZone-format, meaning +2 is CET-time zone and with this data adding +2 hours makes no logic, but then it would make sense to change the zone. Here the above example applying SwitchZone

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTRNzTQNzIwNFIwtTIwACIFbQMjIKUUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each  DateTime.From(Text.Split([Column1],"+"){0}) + Duration.From(Text.Split([Column1],"+"){1})),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTimeZone.From([Column1]),4))
in
    #"Added Custom1"

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
