POWER QUERY APPEND date is missing - append

I have two tables with similar columns
Apply append, all details were ok except for the date of the new table.
Old data dates are available, but the new one is missing and specified as "null"
I check their format, both are the same
Anyone once knows what is the issue.
Below screenshot for reference
enter image description here

It's look like new table has different column name for date.

How to make a cell Blank when no data is being delivered to it

I have made a sheet to track equipment for the company I work for. I have used a script to populate last edited date to a column when a specific column is populated with data. My issue is that once I remove the data from column "A", the date stays in column "B". Is there some sort of formula or script I can use to make the column blank again once it is not being fed data.
I'm using google sheets.
Thank you.
Kind regards.

Invalid Date error when entering record on Sharepoint list Datasheet view

I have a list on Sharepoint 2013. I've often use the Edit this list link to make bulk changes to the list in datasheet view with no problem. Last week I had a bunch of new records I needed to add so decided bulk copy and paste from Excel would be best. However, I get the error "Invalid date/time value. A date/time field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again." The field is Date/Time with Date only display. The format I copied in was mm/dd/yyyy, which is how it's displayed (I realize there's a difference between formatting and display). In the past I've used this format to update dates with no problem. I've tried manually changing the date to other formats like yyyy/mm/dd (or with dashes -), and using the date picker and nothing works. I can add a new item using the form and no problem with the date. It's only happening in datasheet view.
I have 70+ records to add and would rather not have to open a new form for each one (I'm only adding info to 7 of the fields, and I first only pasted a couple records to make sure there were no issues). Are there any recent known issues about date fields in datasheet view? It's a pretty straightforward thing, no calculations are being used, I'm not trying to connect to another service, or use outlying dates (dates are all 2017) so I'm perplexed why this is an issue now and not before. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Found the issue. I had another date field I was not using in that view that for some reason the default value had been set to Calculated field with a value of 1/1/1111. No idea how that got there but I removed that and set the default value to None and now the problem is gone. I found it by creating a new view with every date field in the list and systematically copying a date into each field (in bulk edit) and trying to save after each one until it saved. Then I checked the settings for the field that I was able to save with.

How to extract information meeting a specific criterion from a table?

I have a table with 6 columns and 140,000 rows, and I can't figure out how to extract specific information from the table. For instance, when I try to extract all the accidents that happens on a specific date, either it tells me that the row '12/05/2015' does not exist or it doesn't let me set 'Date' as a Row Name since the dates repeat because more than one accident happens in a day, thus giving me the error that 'Duplicate row name: '01/01/2015'.
How can I pick a date and extract all of the data that corresponds to it?
P.S. Below you can see two photos, one of the table and one of the errors I get when trying to set date as a row to make everything clearer.
if I understand correctly your matter, you want to extract from the table, the rows that contain Date1, if so try this :
new_table = table(table(:,1)==Date1,:);

How do you insert part of an exsisting column record into a new table in postgreSQL?

I'm in the process of formatting a database and have found a column I'd like to format. It has 3 types of information for every record in the column. For example, a record in my history column shows as (American, born Estonia. 19011974). What I want to do is put this data into new individual columns to make them atomic. I want to extract data such as 'American' into a country column, 'Estonia' into a born column and '1901' into a born column and '1974' into a death column. UPDATE: However, some of the columns hold nullls, for example, another record in the same column might be (German, 19242004), so a normal regular expression wouldn't work for all data would it? Any help is appreciated!
What PostgreSQL statements would I use to obtain specific parts of this data from the individual records? I understand it would be insert and have already came up with:
INSERT INTO historian (id,url)
SELECT object_id, url FROM maintable;
that statement allowed me to get those values into new columns, but those were atomic already so I could easily transition them. Thanks for any help! :)

Data Type Cast Won't Stick in SSIS

I'm trying to automate a process with SSIS that exports data into a flat file (.csv) that is then saved to a directory, where it will be scanned and imported by some accounting software. The software (unfortunately) only recognizes dates that are in MM/DD/YYYY fashion. I have tried every which way to cast or convert the data pulled from SQL to be in the MM/DD/YYYY, but somehow the data is always recognized as either a DT_Date or DT_dbDate data type in the flat file connection, and saved down as YYYY-MM-DD.
I've tried various combinations of data conversion, derived columns, and changing the properties of the flat file columns to string in hopes that I can at least use substring operations to get this formatted correctly, but it never fails to save down as YYYY-MM-DD. It is truly baffling. The preview in the OLE DB source will show the dates as "MM/DD/YYYY" but somehow it always changes to "YYYY-MM-DD" when it hits the flat file.
I've tried to look up solutions (for example, here: Stubborn column data type in SSIS flat flat file connection manager won't change. :() but with no luck. Amazingly if I merely open the file in Excel and save it, it will then show dates in a text editor as "MM/DD/YYYY", only adding more mystery to this Bermuda Triangle-esque caper.
If there are any tips, I would be very appreciative.
This is a date formatting issue.
In SQL and in SSIS, dates have one literal string format and that is YYYY-MM-DD. Ignore the way they appear to you in the data previewer and/or Excel. Dates are displayed to you based upon your Windows regional prefrences.
Above - unlike the US - folks in the UK will see all dates as DD/MM/YYYY. The way we are shown dates is NOT the way they are stored on disk. When you open in Excel it does this conversion as a favor. It's not until you SAVE that the dates are stored - as text - according to your regional preferences.
In order to get dates to always display the same way. We need to save them not as dates, but as strings of text. TO do this, we have to get the data out of a date column DT_DATE or DT_DBDATE and into a string column: DT_STR or DT_WSTR. Then, map this new string column into your csv file. Two ways to do this "date-to-string" conversion...
First, have SQL do it. Update your OLE DB Source query and add one more column...
SELECT
*,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), MyDateColumn, 101) AS MyFormattedDateColumn
FROM MyTable
The other way is let SSIS do it. Add a Derived Column component with the expression
SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],6,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],1,4)
Map the string columns into your csv file, NOT the date columns. Hope this helps.
It's been a while but I just came across this today because I had the same issue and hope to be able to spare someone the trouble of figuring it out. What worked for me was adding a new field in the Derived Column transform rather than trying to change the existing field.
Edit
I can't comment on Troy Witthoeft's answer, but wanted to note that if you have a Date type input, you wouldn't be able to do SUBSTRING. Instead, you could use something like this:
(DT_WSTR,255)(MONTH([Visit Date])) + "/" + (DT_WSTR,255)(DAY([Visit Date])) + "/" + (DT_WSTR,255)(YEAR([Visit Date]))
