Hello Mynda,

It showed me Uploaded Successfully Yesterday, but it didn't not.

 I am going to upload it again.

Thanks,

Thanks, PB. Where are the images of the PivotTable and field list so I can see what fields you've used in your PivotTable and what tables they come from? I also need to see your measure.

Thanks,

Mynda

Hello Mynda,

I tried again today, and I got stuck at this one again. I hope you will be able to access this file.

Hello Mynda,

Did you reply to my previous question since I got an email with a message?

I am not seeing any reply.

Hi PB,

The date fields in your Missions table are text. You need to fix the data types in Power Query to dates. Note: I didn't check the other tables. You may have incorrect data types for other date fields.

Hello Mynda,

Thank you for finding the issue! It took me over 3 days to finally complete it.

Date fields were Text in many tables and that was the reason it was populating zeros in Male and Female Columns. Fixing Dates was giving me a tough time, it was giving an error for 70% of the dates where the day was after day 9. I tried all your tricks and many other tricks some are sharing on YouTube, but I don't know why these dates were not converting to US English. It showed it is converted but that error was not going away. After so many trials I had to use a long way to get these dates fixed. I am sure people who are not from your country will face these dates issues.

Thanks,

PB

Hi PB,

In the 'Data' folder you downloaded containing the practice files there is a text file at the top called '_READ_ME_FIRST.txt'. In this file it explains what to do if your date settings are mm/dd/yyyy and how to correctly import them. It sounds like you didn't read this file.

Mynda

Hello Mynda,

Sorry! No, I didn't read it. I wish I had read it and then I would not have wasted 3 days to complete this project.

Thanks,

PB

Not to worry. On the positive side, you won't ever forget how to fix this problem should you ever come across it again 🙂
