Dateformat.error We couldn't parse the value as DateTime Value (Works in PQ but broke in PBI)

I created a table with dates in Excel & added to Power Query/Data Model which I imported into PBI

 

In PBI it is stating an error in the Query Editor being 'Dateformat.error We couldn't parse the value as DateTime Value'. It worked for a while but broke after I refreshed the data

 

There are no spaces etc on the source dates

 

FYI - My locale is Australia & hence the DD/MM/YYYY format
