Why are some values coming back as errors?

When i click on an error (for e.g. the first one it says "DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a Date value.
Details:
1/31/2023"

 

In Power BI Options, my current File regional settings are set to English (United Kingdom)

 

Can someone please assist?

 

Thanks
