double format for a single column
Hi, I assume that you dont want to summarize the column, right ? (you you do, I would suggest that you convert with conditional column everything to hours (if contains ":", then multiply by 24, and next add":00").
But if you want just to adjust the format in one column, you could add a calculated column (just simply formatted column = original column, which would use dynamic formatting, for which you would create a condition, that if it contains ":" then format as hours, if not, then format as days....
hi, i only need 2 different data formats in the same column, no sum or other.
I tried this and it functions in Power query but not when the data are loaded in excel
= Table.TransformColumns(PrevStep, {"Period", each try Duration.From(_) otherwise Date.From(_)})
You cannot have two different formats in the same column in Power Query. If you need each entry to appear differently, you'll have to format as a Text String and use that.
