Date failure

Hi all, 

 

I have an unsual error which I am wracking my brain to try to fix, but cannot. 

As most spurious issues, I haven't made any changes and it just started happening randomly today. 

 

Data is storred in Sharepoint excel file in format as seen below. column B with dates in and is formatted as a date

When the connection to PBI is made, you can see the dates are not being pulled thorugh correctly.

Any ideas on solution or error fault?

Convert to date using the Locale option.

Your formula would look like then when you press OK.

= Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"Date", type date}}, "en-BM")

Pick the correct locale for your data source, but Bermuda/English will work for dates in those formats.
