Unable to Edit Date Format With Google Sheets as Source

Hi there,

I have connected a dataset via google sheets which contains a date field. It is formmated as a date in google sheets however when importing to quicksight it doesn’t recognise as a date, only recognises as a string. When I attempt to edit the format as a date I just get this error when I enter what seems to be a valid date format.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi @JSharman,
Agreed that this looks like a valid date format in Quick Sight. Have you tested out other valid formats to see if it accepts those; would be interested to see if it accepts a different format or if it’s having issues interpreting the format of your google sheets format all together.

it doesn’t seem to accept any formats

Hi @Brett on default quicksights seems to only interpret fields as strings from google sheet import

Hi @JSharman,
It seems to me like this may be a broader issue or a bug within Quick Sight; I would suggest creating a support ticket to get more direct assistance from the AWS support team!

Hi @JSharman,

Following up here as it’s been awhile since last communication took place on this thread; were you able to create a support ticket for this issue and if so, were they able to assist further?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you

Hi @JSharman,

Since we have not heard back further, I’ll go ahead and close out this topic. However, if you have any additional questions, feel free to create a new post in the community.

Thank you!
