DataFormatError

Hi,

 

in my table, I have 3 columns as shown below, I already set datatype's of Dataset as text, Date as date/Time and Country as Text.

 

Dataset    Date                         Country 

ABC      01/01/2020 00:00:00    Austria

BCD      01/01/2020 00:00:00    Belgium

CDE      02/01/2020 01:00:00    Denmark and so on.....

 

Later When I am trying to filter the dataset column, it gives me an error saying,  [DataFormat.Error] We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value. I dont understand why is this, even though the datatype of dataset is text!! It would be great if anyone can suggest anything.

 

TIA

Hi @Anonymous,

 

According to the error messages, you can check the format of Date column.

If the issue still exist, please provide more details, such as sample data, screen shots, etc.
