Issue with List.Max ([Date]) in power query
I finally worked it out. All I did is to go at the beginning of the code and Filtered Out "Undeposited Items" which was mentioned in the error I was getting 'DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a Date'.
The thing that I couldnt understand is that when looking at the Column Profile, everything showed 0 Error and the count seemed to be all in order.
Thanks for your help anyway!
Thnaks for all your answers. However, I ve tried that too and the data seems fine.
See below:
I also tried to look for the 'Undeposited Items' mentioned in the Error but the column seems to be having only dates, as it should.
Hello GGG123,
If my post helped you, please give me a 👍kudos and mark this post with Accept as Solution.
Here is my slightly adapted code. I hope this helps. Here you have to adapt the "Source" step to your code again.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("dc1LDsAgCEXRvTA2kY+KezHufxuFkjY2KZM3ObmwFlCvSJWRGxQgVVsW2OVfWir9FpZTpvhKKtEYtAdYyHZyvNGK/ZXBnmAkeIp6QxmMAPqA39IM2J7sCw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Page = _t, Line = _t]),
Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
LatestDate = List.Max(Table.Column(Type, "Date")),
AddedDateDifference = Table.AddColumn(Type, "Date Difference", each Duration.Days(LatestDate - [Date]), Int64.Type)
in
AddedDateDifference

Im not sure how to fit your code into mine.
Here's mine.
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("\\accnzrep01\B2B\Bank\Bank Reconciliation Report\Bank Reconciliation Report Data Export (Month End).xls"), null, true),
Sheet2 = Source{[Name="Sheet1"]}[Data],
#"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(Sheet2,4),
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Top Rows", "Txn Type", each if [Column1] = "Unreconciled Statement Items" then "Unreconciled Statement Items" else if [Column1] = "Unreconciled GL Items" then "Unreconciled GL Items" else null),
#"Added Conditional Column1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Conditional Column", "GL String", each if [Column1] = "Code:" then [Column2] else null),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Added Conditional Column1",{"Txn Type", "GL String"}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filled Down", each [Column1] <> null and [Column1] <> "Date" and [Column1] <> "Code:" and [Column1] <> "Unreconciled Statement Items" and [Column1] <> "Unreconciled GL Items" and [Column1] <> "BankRecRep.rpt"),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Column3", "Page"}, {"Column6", "Line"}, {"Column10", "Type"}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"Column1", type date}}),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Column1", "Date"}, {"Column12", "Reference"}, {"Column15", "Details"}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns1",{{"Column23", Currency.Type}}),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type1",{"Date", "Page", "Line", "Type", "Reference", "Details", "Column23", "Txn Type", "GL String"}),
#"Renamed Columns2" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Column23", "Amount"}}),
#"Uppercased Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Renamed Columns2",{{"Reference", Text.Upper, type text}, {"Details", Text.Upper, type text}}),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Uppercased Text",{"Txn Type", "GL String", "Date", "Page", "Line", "Type", "Reference", "Details", "Amount"})
in
#"Reordered Columns"Up until this point everything works fine. Are you able to fit your code into mine so that I only need to paste it in the advanced editor?
Thanks!
