    Hello,

    Thanks, we have worked out the problem.

    I had forgotten to change my Regional Settings to "English (United States)" - it was set on English (Australia), so when PowerBI tried to convert the dates to the Australian way of writing dates, as DD/MM/YYYY, most of the months were out of range! Hence the errors.

    Kind regards,

    Alice

      AliceHHH glad to see that you solved your issue.

      Please note that probably nobody over here has any clue what you mean with Lab1 - step 4.

       

      I would appreciate if you can clarify that or provide a link where we can find it (if it is publicly available).

       

      Should you raise more topics in this context, please provide the link (if possible) or otherwise a comprehensive explanation of the context.
