I have a column named as 'timestamp per day' and the cells contain dates with format like this '13/11/2023'.
As I try to add a Date column, I'm only getting 'Parse' on the drop down list.
I already tried to change the date type into Date or Date/Time or Date/Time/Zone but neither works, I always get an error in some of my data though they all have the same format as 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
As I also click the Parse option, it also gave me same error:
DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value.

Hi,
you need to use Using Locale instead of Date
and then select one Locale which has the format for date DD/MM/YYYY like italy
and it will function.
You can also decide to change Regional settings in Options
to Italy
and you will get the dates in the format you need

This is helpful! Just by changing the regional settings of the files alone works for me. Thanks!
