Fix ValueError

in Polars

Solution

ValueError exceptions in Polars often arise from using empty or invalid format strings with string or datetime operations, especially when the GPU engine is enabled. To fix this, ensure that all format strings passed to functions like `.dt.strftime()` or `.str.strptime()` are valid and non-empty. Review the format string documentation for the specific function to understand the required structure.
