Hi all,
I keep on getting this [DataFormat.Error] We couldn't convert to Date. every time I refresh my data on Query Editor.
It appears even when selecting Text Columns (I had previously appleid only conversion to text format for that column).
I think this is a bug.
Please see attached images.
Many thanks for oyur time.
In PowerQuery, filter the date field with "Keep rows with error" then check the error
Hi @rsdondo
Are you importing from an excel?
If so, it could be that the error is coming from a symbol that someone entered manually in the excel. Before the step where it is converted in Power Query, sort the column from A-Z and see if you can find such symbols, if you do, just highlight the cell and replace with null.
If it's a differnet source, please let me know and I will try help further
Joe
