Will not output date field in a loop

Copper Contributor

I am importing a csv file with one of the fields being a date in this format 1/21/2022 5:41:57 PM. If I then try to output that date it appears blank when running in a ForEach, if I output it individually it works. Even a simple Write-host does not work. All the other fields work just fine.

I can convert it to a variable that works fine, but still will not output

If I try to convert it to a string I get the error message Cannot convert value "" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime." Again this error only happens when running in the loop.

 

Thanks

Hey, Harold.

 

You'll need to post some example code for us to be able to help you.

 

We don't need real data if that's an issue for you, but no code = us wildly guessing.

 

The only thing we can say for certain based on the error you've provided is that you are trying to convert an empty string to a date, which is not possible - meaning the error is valid.

 

Cheers,
