Hello,
I have survey data that has a DateTime in Text format. When I changed the type to Date/DateTime, it produced errors. Can anyone help me to work around this problem?
Thank you for your help.
@Anonymous your column contains timezone information, first change the type to date timezone, and then in the next step change it to date or date/time based on your need.
