OnLoad: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

Issue

error message.png You configured the Data-Viewer to filter the items in a SharePoint list and see this error when you save the web part settings.

Resolution

configure filtering on today plus some.png The issue is that the current version of the Data-Viewer Web Part doesn’t support using a filter with [Today] and plus/minus values (i.e., [Today]+5) as shown here. The Web Part doesn’t currently recognize the string as a valid DateTime.

Filters using [Today] by itself should be OK.

As a workaround, create a list view that filters the items in the list using [Today]+5 and then configure the Data-Viewer Web Part to filter with Use list or library view instead of Create custom filter.
