  • Hi! sam_nik12345 

     

    What is your datasource? Because when I paste this date and convert this, I don't see any isssue.

    If possible, please share your pbix file without your PII data.

    I suspect the dates themselves are ok however some other values in the column are causing issues.

     

    • In power query try running clean and trim on the column.
    • Scan down list of values and make sure nothing is out of place eg no "Not Applocable"
