Error "ORA-01861: literal does not match format string" When Using the DATE() Function With Oracle

Julkaisupäivä: Feb 25, 2025
Kuvaus
When using the DATE() function in a calculated field with an Oracle data source, the following error might occur:

ORA-01861: literal does not match format string

Cause

This error occurs when a literal is entered with a format string, but the length of such format string is not the same as the literal. This can sometimes occur in Tableau Desktop when using the DATE() function along with an Oracle database. 
Ratkaisu
Use the DATEPARSE() function instead of the DATE() function.

For example, if the DATE() calculation is  
DATE( STR ([Year]) + "-" + STR([Month]) + "-1" )

The matching DATEPARSE() calculation would be

​DATEPARSE("yyyy-MM-dd", (STR ([Year]) + "-" + STR([Month]) + "-1" ))
