# Invalid data types

 * I keep getting the “Invalid data types” message when trying to import my data
   from a csv file.
 * The second line only contains two data types, 1 column with “date” and another
   3 with “number”. If I change the “date” to “string” I can successfully import
   the data and I get a graph but obviously the horizontal axis is not formatted
   correctly.
 * Please can someone help with what I am doing wrong?
 * Many thanks,
 * Sam

 * [@fundofthings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fundofthings/) could you 
   please verify that all the data in the date column is actually d date? Open the
   file in a text editor (not Excel). If you are sure the data is all okay, can 
   you please attach the CSV here?
