Hi, @sam_nik12345

The data you provided can work well on my side.

Please double check your original data to make sure there are no extra spaces in the table.

You can refer to this similar thread.

DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value.

I suspect the dates themselves are ok however some other values in the column are causing issues.

In power query try running clean and trim on the column.
Scan down list of values and make sure nothing is out of place eg no "Not Applocable"

Hi! @sam_nik12345

What is your datasource? Because when I paste this date and convert this, I don't see any isssue.

If possible, please share your pbix file without your PII data.
