Data issue when filtering in PQ

In the Power Query editor, all the date fields show dates, until I filter by one of the staff names, in which case the dates all show as errors. Any ideas why that would be the case? 

  • Hi Walt1010 Could you check for any of these issues 

    • Check Data Types:
      Ensure the date column is set to Date type. Mixed types can cause errors.

    • Inspect Filtered Rows:
      Remove the filter and check rows for invalid or blank values in the date column.

    • Replace Errors:

      • Use Replace Errors to replace invalid values with null.
      • Or, use Remove Errors to exclude problematic rows.
    • Review Query Steps:
      Check APPLIED STEPS for transformations that might corrupt the date column.
