Transform lastLogon into date in power query
Hello,
I am trying to convert the active directory lastlogon to readable date and times in power query but I don't find the solution. Could you help me?
This is the view.
Thanks
Hello Anonymous
you need to devide and subtract something of the lastlogon-number in order to transform it to a DateTimeZone.
each DateTimeZone.From([lastLogon]/ 864000000000 - 109205)Here a complete example
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQxNjQ2tnTVNjRXitWB8o3M4fy80pwchIS5OYpCQwNDVL4FqkGGplgMQjbRyMTUGFkH6XwTIzS+BZp6IwLmEZLHzzc0pK55hP2L7j+S9BsamVjiiRGscWRoaGmCPTkgmU3QrFgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [lastLogon = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"lastLogon", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each DateTimeZone.From([lastLogon]/ 864000000000 - 109205)) in #"Added Custom"Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hey Tommy,
When I use your formula into a new custom column, it appears me an error. How can I solve this?
