Your Due Date format is DD/MM/YYYY so just change all the calendar fields format to DD/MM/YYYY.

Year(Date#([Due Date], 'DD/MM/YYYY')) AS [YEAR]

Hi Paul,

If this ever worked, the date format in your source CSV has changed since then.

I've changed your calendar script into:

Test2:
LOAD * ,
MonthName(Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY'))  as  MonthYear,
MonthName(Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY'))  as  YearMonth,
DATE((Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY'))) as [DATE],
num(month((Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY')))) as [month],
year((Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY'))) as [year],
(Date#([Due Date],'D/M/YYYY'))  as DueDate1
Resident  Test ;

Hereby a working version.

With kind regards,

Ronald

I am not quite sure how your data source changes. So when i looked in for your Due Date it shows date in D/MM/YYYY. Was this different few days ago?

May be we can use below if we do not worry about which format the date is coming we can change the expression accordingly. So something like below:

Eg:

Year(Date(Num(Floor([Due Date])), 'MM/DD/YYYY')) AS DueDateNum,

Year(Date(Num(Floor([Due Date])), 'DD/MM/YYYY')) AS DueDateNum

Hi Paul,

What changes the format of the dates in your CSV is probably up to something in your source system. Could be something as small as an update, or the use of a different (Windows) user with different locale settings.

Showing code is done using the "advanced editor" and clicking Syntax highlighting -> (for example) PHP.
