Error importing "TIME" from SQL Server db

Hi,

I have a problem importing data from SQL Server db.

A column with type TIME(7) in db is recognised in Power BI as binary.

I've tried to convert data using transform tools, without success.

I've tried to add custom column with formulas, without success, same result.

The only conversion works fine is text.

An example:

CQAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyone can help me?

Hi @techteam ,

 

You may refer to below:

= Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Begin Time", each Text.BetweenDelimiters(_, " ", ":", 0, 1), type text}})
