DataFormat.Error: couldn't parse the input provided as a Date value
Hello everyone,
I am converting the pdf into excel format when I am converting the data for September
it shows up a data format error, could not identify the pdf month format"Sept"
I have tried to change the locale but failed, the excel can read "Sep" but not "Sept"
Could anyone please take a look?
Hi Bensontsoi
Before the "Changed Type" step, insert a step to replace "Sept" with "Sep". This will probably solve the problem.
