Date stored as text
"Date stored as text" is one of the reliability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n column(s) whose name says date are typed as text. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Convert to date in Power Query with an explicit culture, and fail the refresh on unparsable values rather than silently keeping text.
What is detected
n column(s) whose name says date are typed as text. Sorting is alphabetical, time intelligence cannot use them, and comparisons depend on the locale.
Why it matters
Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.
How to fix it
Convert to date in Power Query with an explicit culture, and fail the refresh on unparsable values rather than silently keeping text.
