Invalid data when using Athena with Amazon QuickSight

Invalid data when using Athena with Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight

An invalid data error can occur when you use any operator or function in a calculated field. To address this, verify that the data in the table is consistent with the format that you supplied to the function.

For example, suppose that you are using the function parseDate(expression, [‘format’], [‘time_zone’]) as parseDate(date_column, ‘MM/dd/yyyy’). In this case, all values in date_column must conform to 'MM/dd/yyyy' format (’05/12/2016’). Any value that isn't in this format (‘2016/12/05’) can cause an error.
