Date column not recognized
Hi all,
I have built a Google Spreadsheet, which I am pulling into Domo to feed a card.
All data comes in well, but no matter what I do, Domo won't recognize the column <date> as a date column.
I concatenate the filed, and I tried several versions:
2016-13-01
2016/13/01
01-13-2016
01/13/2016
Domo won't recognize it. I also tried a beastmode calculation to force Domo to recognize it as a date column, but that didn't work either.
Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jorge

We import all of our date data in the 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, though i will admit that we do not use Google Spreadsheets.
The one thing i note from your date example, is it looks like maybe you are doing YYYY-DD-MM... (ie, there is no month 13)
The other thing you could try is pulling the pieces apart and using the STR_TO_DATE() function... examples can be found here - https://knowledge.domo.com/Visualize/Adding_Cards_to_Domo/KPI_Cards/Transforming_Data_Using_Beast_Mode/02Beast_Mode_Functions_Reference_Guide

Thanks cktzman!
Solution for me was as follows:
- change syntax of date column to YYY-DD-MM
- ensure that empty spaces (without a date) were filled with a date like 1999-01-01 (which I later on filter out).
That did it. Thanks a lot again!
