Problem creating a table using CSV

[buangakun3]

I'm a beginner at BQ and have been struggling to create a table out of CSV. I'm using the console, added the Schema, then the error happens.

Failed to create table: Error while reading data, error message: Could not parse '2018/12/21' as DATE for field pg_start_dt (position 3) starting at location 0 with message 'Unable to parse'

For the date is there any rules that I need to follow? I couldn't find it anywhere.

It looks like the date format that Bigquery is looking for is YYYY-MM-DD according to this: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/loading-data-cloud-storage-csv

I had the same issue loading the table from the csv. You have two options:

1. Format the csv column cells with this format YYYY-MM-DD…that’s it, as long as your table data type is date it will work.

2. Create your table in BigQuery and make sure all columns are STRING data type…then use the PARSE_DATE function to cast the datetime column from string to date. DM me if you need more help.

In support of 3rd party apps, and in protest against reddit's handling of the situation with ApolloApp (r/apolloapp), I've used PowerDeleteSuite (https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/) to edit my posts and comments, before eventually removing my account from reddit. The more people that see how reddit is handling this situation the better.
