Dataflow Null Date Value

Hello Anonymous 

this is what might happen, that you don't have a text string on your whole column, but somewhere at the end a date. And it's not possible to parse a date. So you have to do a transform.columntype of this column before, and change it to text. Did you try this?

Here an example of what happen when you try to split a date

let
	Source = #table
	(
		{"Date"},
		{
			{"03.01.19-04.01.19"},	{"43468"}
		}
	),
	ToDate = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Date", each try Date.From(Number.From(_)) otherwise _}}),
	Split = Table.SplitColumn(ToDate, "Date", Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({"-"}))
in
	Split

By the way... you don't need to parse it by "/". Just use a transformColumns with a Date.FromText(_,"en-US") i suppose
