Hello,

I have this problem where I have a timestamp in an analysis from a subject area dimension field that I convert to a date to do some date manipulation with.

This worked, but then after saving reloading etc it now errors with a conversion error after no changes at all.

    Hi,

    I have seen this also.

    The fix is to make sure you explicitly convert it (cast to...) and never rely on implicit conversion at any point.

    I am not sure why this works initially, and then fails, but that is the fix.

    Hi,

    Thanks for letting us know

    In case it's a question, what's the question?

    And you will have to post a bit more if you expect an answer ...

    Things like the detailed error, the conversion used, the version etc.
