We have two date picker columns (from date and to date) in interactive grid. User can select these dates.
These have date format as DD-MON-YYYY and have set minimum and maximum dates set.
It works fine in English application.
We translated the application to ar-ae (Arabic).
In arbic, the dates are appearing as DD-MM-YYYY and system is not accepting these dates (if clicked that fiedl), saying that the format is invalid.
Probably due the same root cause, the minimum and maximum date conditions are also not satisfied.
English:
Arabic:
I have translated the application to Arabic. I have tried to remove the date format mast completely. I have tried to change date format from global attributes. None worked

I use below code on a Sharepoint list to calculate banking days but I want it to show (Blank) when there isn't a date in "End Date List", what do I need to change? Today the code shows a number greater than 32k when (Blank).
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([End Date List];TODAY();”d”));””;(DATEDIF([End Date List];TODAY();”d”))+1-INT(DATEDIF([End Date List];TODAY();”d”)/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY(TODAY())-WEEKDAY([End Date List]))<0;2;0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=7;WEEKDAY([End Date List])=7);AND(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=1;WEEKDAY([End Date List])=1));1;0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([End Date List])=1;(WEEKDAY(TODAY())-WEEKDAY([End Date List]))>0);1;0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([End Date List])=7);WEEKDAY(TODAY())=7);1;0))
Since Networkdays function don't work in calculated column I have used this but don't understand where I can change so that if the "cell" is blank, the outcome should also be blank.
My data is in UK date format, powerquery editor displays this as US date format, and when I load the table back in to excel, it displays it as UK date format. This is an issue because it forces me to write dates in US date format in to parameters. This is what I've tried so far:
Setting Locale to UK date (as source data is in UK date format)
Setting Regional settings to UK
Splitting the date column (which is displayed in US format), reordering the month and day columns, and the merging the day, month, year column with a "/" separator. When I then set the data format to "date", it just changes the date back around to US date format
Checked windows settings on my laptop which are set to UK
Is there a setting in powerquery that I'm missing? I'd like to be able to enter a UK date format in to parameters as I won't be the only one using the spreadsheet and currently it will be very prone to errors especially for the first 12 days of each month.
Thankyou!
You can change type "Using locale" and set UK format.
Right click on column name > Change type > Using locale > pick type and format
Corresponding code would be:
= Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Sorted Rows", {{"date", type date}}, "en-GB")
I'm looking to have my field show "dd-mmm-yy" when a date is not entered into the field, so members don't get confused and frustrated when they try to put in a date such as 11/12/20 and don't realize it needs to be in day day, month month month, year year format. Is this possible to do through the property sheet?
[date format]
You can set the Format property of the textbox to:
dd-mm-yyyy;;;"dd-mm-yyyy"
though I believe it will add more confusion than help.
Another method for speedy input of dates is shown in my article:
Entering ISO formatted date with input mask and full validation in Microsoft Access
I am trying to capture both date and time in MDriven, but the default for data type DateTime only shows a picker (in Web) for the date, but a time is stored in the persistency layer. How do I also capture the time?
I found this in the wiki.mdriven.net
Date-formatting You set date and time format in the Style attribute
enclosed in { }.
For example, for dates and time, {short} will show date and time in
compact format. The default date format is {shortDate}. Please refer
to the Angular guide for formatting dates
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/date
The date and time format are automatically localized depending on the
browser.
I am pulling in date information via MySQL and the date is in the string format of "MM/dd/YY hh:mm:ss"
Using the built in conversion to date isnt working; so I tried using DATEPARSE and also using DATE and manually parsing it. I have had no luck and I have no idea why I keep getting "null" as the answer or it is putting the month as year, day as month, and year as day.
See screenshots below for the different formulas I have used:
DATEPARSE
Original date format
DATE with manual parsing
This worked for me using your example original data
DATEPARSE('mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss',[Time] )
I used tableau's documentation of custom date formats to find the right formula for the format.
If this doesn't solve the problem then it is most likely due to a Locale issue. The Dateparse function relies on the locale specified by your computer settings to interpret and then display the strings you want to convert and can affect whether a certain format can be specified. This means that if a certain format is not recognised it will return a null. This will often occur is the windows region and language format is changed to another language other than the original language the workbook was created it.
So check your locale and if required execute the following workaround (documented by tableau here):
Open Windows control panel > region and language > format
Click format dropdown and change to original language of workbook creation
click ok or apply and reopen tableau work book
