@wonka1234 
Have you tried ddMMyyyy:hh:mm:ss.ssssss?

@OTrieger  "ddMMyyyy:hh:mm:ss.ssssss" seems to give all nulls :(

Use ddMMMyyyy:hh:mm:ss.ffffff

 

See the section for "Hour, Minute, and Second Format Specifiers" on this web page:   DateTime Tool (alteryx.com)

You actually need to use this format: ddMonyyyy:hh:mm:ss
