Format of timestamp "2904-02-20 01:00:00.0" gives null

Hi all,

 

I have a column containing a timestamp.

To be sure that this column is interpreted correctly, I have to reformat it . I Use a "change column type " step with parameters 'Datetime' , 'yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss' and 'yyyy*mm*dd*HH:MM:SS'.

 

But in some cases where the column = "2904-02-20 01:00:00.0", trifacta returns null instead of the actual value

 

Do you have an idea about what could be the cause of this problem ?

Hi, Nadi--

 

Is "2904-02-20 01:00:00.0" the correct value?

 

If so, the year value is out of range of what the platform supports:

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

Yes it is the correct value

 

Please can you tell me the max year value supported by the platform ?

 

Also I had a similar problem on a value where the year was = 0015, is this value also out of range?
