BigQuery Load Error : Could not parse 'MM/DD/YYYY' as date for field shipped from CSV file
While loading CSV file with date values, bq load fails:
id,shipped,name
0,1/10/2019,ryan
2,10/1/2013,henryError while reading data, error message: Could not parse '1/10/2019' as date for field shipped (position 1) starting at location 17
Solution:
While doing bq load only YYYY-MM-DD is supported:
When you load CSV or JSON data, values in DATE columns must use
the dash (-) separator and the date must be in the following
format: YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day).
You can,
- Load the CSV file as-is to BigQuery (i.e. convert the column to STRING datatype)
- Create a BigQuery view that transforms the
shippedfield from a string to a recognized date format. UseSELECT id, PARSE_DATE('%m/%d/%Y', shipped) AS shipped, name - Use that view for your analysis
