Hi @112300576 ,

 

Probably I reproduced your error.

Because your Power Query defaults to only recognize the date format of DD/MM/YYYY, but

the date format of the data source you provide is MM/DD/YYYY.

The workaround is to use change type with local.

Data type is Date/Time and locale is English(United States).

And OK.
