I am reading an excel file (.xlsx) which contains a column with Date and time value stored in custom (mmm d, yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM). While uploading file to Dataiku is automatically reduces one second in the value. It is not done for each row but for on a random basis.

E.g. Input Value - Jan 31,2025 10:00:00 AM

Dataiku read it as -Jan 31,2025 9:59:59 AM

    Hi,
    Could you please open a support ticket and share a sample file so you can reproduce this so we can review it further?


    One quick test would be to see if you can reproduce the issue by exporting to CSV from Excel and using the CSV in DSS.

    Thanks

    Possibly some microsecond-rounding involved in the sheet ? If the original date-value is a timestamp in milliseconds the custom formatting does some masking but the original value remains. I would add a temporary column in the Excelfile (together with conditional formatting) to check that.
