I tried that and it did not work. One column has the date and time. 08/08/2024 12:00 AM

The other column only has the date. 08/08/2024

Hello Byron,

I have also tested it with different formats- one column containing date and time, and the other with only the date and it still works for me. Please check the video recording of my replication below.

I found out it has to do with restrictions on the company who created the database. I will take another approach. You can consider this closed.
