Hi Leandro,

 

Couldn't reproduce your issue. The python script works well on my side. It seems like there's something with your data type, are they text type in your dataset?

Hi everyone,

I followed the same tutorial but I get another error when running the script:

I used the same code as the tutorial but there he only has 1 column in his dataset and mine consists of multiple columns with multiple date types.

I tested the code and when I removed all other columns, it worked as expected.

Can someone help me out?

 

Thanks!
