Hey @Bakiyaraja 

 

Date format will not be an issue as datatype for DATE field in excel file is date. Thus even if you are seeing MM/DD/YYYY in excel file, While reading data in Alteryx it will be treated as YYYY-MM-DD cause Alteryx recognized the date data type. 

 

I have done one change in the @Robin_McIntosh workflow at filter section. PFA for reference.

If this solution answers your queries then please mark @Robin_McIntosh response as a solution.
