Hi all,

 

I am trying to transform the data from multiple excel files into a single activity table but while I am transforming the timestamp field. it shows the error below:

  • Execution error: ERROR: Column "_EVENTTIME" is of type timestamp but expression is of type varchar

 

When I upload the file I have already indicated the field as DATETIME fieldimage.png 

Therefore i am not so sure about how this went wrong, appreciate your time and help in advance!

Hello,

 

It seems to be pattern checking error - the easiest workaround would be changing in flat files date to standard dd.mm.yyyy.

If the workaround is not viable I would raise a ticket.

 

Best Regards,
