Answer 1

BigQuery dates must be in full ISO standard and UTC,

2019-12-31 00:00:00

Answer 2

DATE time must be in the format of 0001-01-01 00:00:00 .

You can load CSV into a temporary file with this field as a string and then using a parse query you can load into your target table

Answer 3

I encountered a similar problem and can offer two potential solutions that both worked for me.

In the cells within the CSV file there is problematic value (PM) after the timestamp that is not recognized by Big Query and returns an error while creating a table.

Solution 1: If the CSV file is not too large, then remove the AM after the timestamp in the column which should fix the error in BigQuery.

Solution 2: If the CSV file is too large or cannot be modified then upload it to BigQuery, manually adding the values under Schema. Input the column names as they appear in your CSV file and change the type to STRING.
