Kindly refer to the above link. Is this still an on going issue in Power Query or has a work around and or solution been found to this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Based on my test, I am afraid the problem is still a limitation for R script in Power BI, you could set the date column as Text and use the R script, it will work for your data:
