Error in Service due to date formats/regional settings(?)

Hi,

 

Really struggelig with some date issues.

 

Have created a report in the desktop version and everything is working. However, when I upload to the service and update I get an error.

I'm not sure what is wrong but when I check the table in the error message (Tabled: Budsjett) I find that I get an error on the date column when I change my regional settings in the Desktop version. Started out with Norwegian (and then my date column is ok) but when I change to e.g. US, the date colum shows error. 

 

The format is like the one under:

Then I tried to just look at the table where I get an error. I changed the date to US created a table visual and everything seemed fine in the Desktop version. ThenI Ipublished a report and tried to refresh but still I got the error. To me it seems that there are some issues with regional settings and date formats but can't really figure it out.

 

Any tips?

Hej! You can try to change the data type by explicitly setting the region. Check this: https://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2015/07/08/fix-date-errors/

Thank you for the answer,

 

It's a nice blog post. It didn't really solve my issue but did a work-around by splitting the date column and then concatenating the text in another date format, before changing the type.
