  • $\begingroup$ First, it's a warning, not an error. Did you check whether the result matches what you want? Second, the message seems pretty clear to me. Somewhere in your computation the expression AbsoluteTime["11-12-2020"] is evaluated, and since that would be interpreted differently by different conventions, it's ambiguous. To give more guidance, we'd need to see more of your code--a minimal amount to let us reproduce the warning. Might also need to see the format of the data you're importing. $\endgroup$

A date string such as 11-12-2020 may be interpreted as meaning 11 December or 12 November. AbsoluteTime will provide a default with a warning about the ambiguity. The actual order can be specified in AbsoluteTime.

AbsoluteTime["11-12-2020"] 
(* 3 814 128 000 with a warning *)
AbsoluteTime[{"11-12-2020", {"Month", "Day", "Year"}}]
(* 3 814 128 000 *)
AbsoluteTime[{"11-12-2020", {"Day", "Month", "Year"}}] 
(* 3 816 633 600 *)
