Time.From Function in Power Query

The Time.From function in Power Query returns a time value from the given value.

Syntax

Time.From(
    value as any, 
    optional culture as nullable text
) as nullable time 

The function has the following parameter:

• value: The value you want to convert into a time. It can be a datetime, datetimezone, text, number, or time.

Purpose The Time.From function converts various types of values into a time value (datatype: Time). It works with:

• datetime: Returns the time component of the value.
• datetimezone
• text (with a recognizable time format)
• number (representing a fractional day)
• time (returns as-is)

Example: From datetime.

Power Query M

let
    Source = Time.From(#datetime(2025, 4, 10, 14, 30, 10))
in
    Source   

The output of the above code is 14:30:10. Extracts just the time part from the datetime.

Example: From text.

Power Query M

let
    Source = Time.From("07:45:20")
in
    Source   

The output of the above code is 07:45:20. Converts a well-formatted text string into time so returned value is of Time datatype.
