    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I'd like to suggest you create an index column in data scource. Then you may go to 'Modeling' ribbon, click 'Sort by column', make the index column selected.

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

Are they deleted or in a different order. Check no of rows.

Another issue. When you have a date in DD/MM/YYYY, sometimes it happens that few dates are taken as MM/DD/YYYY. Just check for that too

The n° of rows are the same, How can I solve that problem with the order of the format of the dates?

    There are few options like you try to the system that date is in the British format. If nothing works out. Then convert it into text. Check the date are the same as the source.

    and create a new column like

    new column = mid(DD__MM__YY[Date],4,2) &"/"& left(DD__MM__YY[Date],2) & "/" & right(DD__MM__YY[Date],4)
