Exception: Could not parse text

[pc-amaral]

Hey @bplmp , how have you been?
I'm struggling in here with this:

Can you please help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Same issue here. There seems to be particular queries that are running into this issue.

[pc-amaral]

@manghat I was able to solve the issue.
I had to change some things:

• The code now don't ask if I want to run
• Now it runs all queries only
• There is the need of putting the question numbers in the code (line 159)
• You should put the dates in the code (it's in Brazilian Portuguese, dataInicio and dataFim

I'll paste all of it down here

@pc-amaral could you share why it is necessary to add dates and which dates to add?
Thank you!

[pc-amaral]

Hey @johannkaupen
Most of the questions that failed for me were questions that needed a date range. The original script doesn't have a place to define it.
The questions that worked didn't need it. I believe that the dates were the main issue to show the parse error.

If I'm not wrong, dataInicio is 2022-01-01 and dataFim is D-1
