When loading a .csv file into BigQuery with dates with this format DD/MM/YY it doesn't work, if I specify the schema for the table and I select Date Format.

However, if I don't specify the schema and I choose Automatically detect it works and converts the date format into YYYY-MM-DD.

Is there any possibility of convert the date into the right format manually and specify the name for that field?

Thanks, David

Unfortunatelly, there is no way to control date formatting from the load API. You can load data into STRING first, and then use Standard SQL's PARSE_DATE function to parse it using any custom format.
