I get the following error after I transform a date into a month number.  I want  to sort on month number and or date.

I get the correct month number in the column but unable to sort.

DataFormat.Error: We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value.

Do you need a example file?

 

Thanks

Hi Robert,

Have you set the data type for the InDate - Copy.1 column as date before trying to extract the Month number?
