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
Hi @Lightice83
Thanks for reaching out to us.
First you have to remove these two steps,
then select Using Locale

Can you try Change Type -> Using Locale...
@gdbaerg Thanks but unfortunately doesn't work as both my source data & locale data are in DD/MM/YYYY
