This is the error output when running InputCollect:

There are no errors up to InputCollect.

Here is date column of the CSV file being imported. Date column of type date, and the others of type general.

InputCollect <- robyn_inputs(
  dt_input = dt_input_file,  (name of file from import
  dt_holidays = dt_prophet_holidays,
  date_var = "Date",

Please check your dataframe dt_input_file within R first, not just in Excel

Thanks gufengzhou. Encoding during the csv import changed the first column name from Date to i..Date. Adding encoding to the read line fixed this. read.csv('<fileName>.csv', fileEncoding = 'UTF-8-BOM')
