    Hi bourne2000 ,

     

    What's the regional settings in your pbix file?

     

    Or try to convert it to "en-US" format:

     

    = Table.TransformColumnTypes(your last step, {{"datecolumnname", type date}}, "es-US")

     

    Then use the 

    {Number.From([Hire Date])..Number.From([Terminated date])}

     

    It will works as your expection.
