About 3 weeks ago, I created a query that used "Group By" and one of the fields I grouped by was of date type. Now that I'm ready to make this report live to my colleagues (of course it would happen NOW), I receive an error in PQ that says I can't parse by Date Type.

"DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a Date value.
Details:
StartDate"


Did something in PQ change in the last update (I have Excel 2016)?

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Sorry, the new data I worked with had a header row sneak in on me - PQ was telling me it couldn't convert text to date...understood!
