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}})
Thanks @v-frfei-msft for your response.
I've tried your solution, without success.
Error message:
Expression.Error: It is not possible to convert a value of type Binary to type Text.
Details:
Value=[Binary]
Type=[Type]
