I kept this file in the clean up incase people have dh examples in mind.

Using the suggested common transform to_date on the date of creation column doesn't work. Using value.toDate("yyyyMMdd") works for 677 of the dates in the column, but there are 3,584 non-date rows shown if you facet to timeline. Many of these are "Not Available" but some look like the should be correct dates and I'm not sure why they haven't worked.

Should some of the Java simple date format definitions be included in the notes, or perhaps a link to them in the more detail?

This is a call out for volunteers please.
