Blank date is coming in Power Query

Hi,

 

I am importing a CSV file containing more than 700K in Power Query. However, I am also getting null in my date column in 

PQ. Although I have checked the date in my source CSV file, there is not a blank date in the date column.  

Can you please help me how to fix it?

File.Contents("C:\YourFilePath"),
[Delimiter=",", Columns=8, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.Csv]

change your CSV ingestion to "ignore quoted line breaks"  and make sure you use the correct encoding.
