Hello,
I am working with a dataset retrieved as a CSV file through web.
I have a time field on the dataset with values similar to below:
10/31/2016 4:05:00 PM
When data is fed to PBI desktop, it is automatically detected as "text".
When I attempt to change its type to Date/Time, I get the following error:
DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value.
Details:
10/31/2016 6:25:00 PM
I have checked the source, all values are similarly formatted ( no add values in the time field )
I have also used PromoteHeaders to prmote the first row ( which contains header to the header field ) before trying to change the type.
The exact step that fails uses this DAX code:
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"time", type datetime}}),
Is there anything that I am doing wrong? or do I need any further pre-processing on this time field to be able to properly parse it?
Thanks
Ali
