    I have had this problem for over two days and this just solved it! I have a column of dates in a csv file and it's formatting differently for the 01/1-12 days and 1/13-up days. When I load it to power BI it just wont recognize the 01/13-up dates and returns an error. I tried formatting it from the CSV but somehow it is not taking custom format. I even did text to columns as well as extract function in power just to get it right but even then I am stuck with a dd/mm/yy. I still couldn't make it to a mm/dd/yy format. I just realized I had to change the regional setting in the control panel to resolve this. Anyhow, your method is simple but it solves this date conundrum that I've had easily. Thank you so much! I am so relieved to say the least! More power to your channel! Subscribed!

    That's a great guide, thank you.
    Unfortunately I only need it for about 15 mins of work and I've now got a powershell script to flip my locale settings between DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD. Which is much faster for what I need.
    I did learn something about Excel though, which is great

    • @efficiency365
      @efficiency365  Місяць тому

      The key thing to learn is to use Power Query for all data clean-up needs. Scripts are great but why write code when you can do it out-of-the-box?

      You cannot keep changing date format at system level for every import.

    Sir, I have a csv file which I want to update (add more data). Now, if I follow this method, update the data and then convert it back to a csv using the save as--> csv option, will it work? or do I need to change the formatting again?

    • @efficiency365

      It will work. But after saving the target application needs to recheck data types.

    Hi Dr Nitin,
    Appreciate your content. Would be great help if you could include a way to convert datetime function as 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss' . My only solution thus far is to save as a .CSV file as files will reformat datetime into locale format.
    Thank you

    • @efficiency365
      @efficiency365  Рік тому

      Dear Chris
      What is the requirement?
      Convert from which format to which format?
      In Power Query, we can use locale based functions, or many other approaches.
      Please post some input and intended output examples and then I will create the relevant content.
      Cheers.

    Dr. Nitin,
    I have an issue where I am exporting very old files from the year 2000 from a paid data repository in excel csv format. The date format in the repository shows as (MM-DD-YY). When I open the csv file, the date format is not entirely intact. Some of the dates are preserved in MM-DD-YY, but most are changed to YYYY-MM-DD. But does this in the worst way, by adding (20) before the month and turning it to a YYYY. For example, a record dated 12-10-01 (Dec, 10, 2001) becomes 2012-10-01 (2012, Oct, 01). The entire year, month and day is wrong. It is really wierd. Then, when I convert the .csi file to Txt, as in your tutorial, the date will appear exactly as it does in the csv file, e.g., in both formats. Its really messed-up. Have you seen anything like this?

    • @efficiency365
      @efficiency365  Рік тому

      This is a year 2000 (Y2K) problem.

    What if it's not a csv but an excel file itself that has dates in different format than my locale. Then when I open it on my Indian locale computer, will it read and store dates correctly? I want it to retain the original format mm/dd/yy and not change it to dd/mm/yy.

      Always use Power Query for import. Then you can use From Locale option on a per column basis.

      By default, Excel takes the cutoff year as 29. Below that it will be 20xx after that it will be 19xx.
      To change the cutoff date, to go control panel - regional settings - Date - cutoff date.

      Use Power Query to import data. There you can put your own logic easily.
