I don't use VIEWTABLE either (for several reasons). I've noticed, with the "mixed" date values it writes error messages to the log (in black color!), one for each invalid value:

ERROR: There was a problem with the format so BEST. was used.

So, the table itself shows a mixture of BEST. and DATE9. formatted values, as shown in @vraj1's screenshot.
