Hi All,
My date-time format is the same still getting an error.
Regional Setting:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @adarshmp8998 ,
The locale(English United States) you selected doesn't work for dates in "DD-MM-YYYY" format.
Try changing your locale as English (United Kingdom).
Result:
Here's how to fix it:
1.Error Scenario for Reverting:
2.Convert the datetime column contains error to a text column.
Select "Replace current".
3.Right click the column, Change Type, Using Locale...
Data Type: Date/Time, Locale: English (United Kingdom)
Of course, you can also set up a new local in the regional settings and then re-load it, which I think will work as well.
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao
