Convert text to datetime

Hi guys,

I need to convert a text field to datetime or timestamp in alteryx but i failed to use the datetime tool because the value looks difference that normal.
Please help to advice me on this:

2018-01-01T07:57:29.000Z
2017-12-31T23:48:40.000Z
2018-01-03T18:40:31.000Z
2018-01-02T20:59:09.000Z

I need get the date and the hour per each row before inserting to my SQL Server.

Thank in advanced.

Your data is almost there. I would replace the T with a space. Next I would replace .000Z with "". Then it is ready to be changed to a datetime data type in a select tool.

So you want to choose custom mode in this instnace with the following statement...

%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z

I.e. the first four characters represent the year

then theres a dash

then the month

then the day

then a T

then the hour

then a colon

then the minutes

then a colan

then the seconds

then a fullstop and 000Z

milliseconds are not supported. This will only work if the suffix is always .000Z

Alternatively you could trim these characters from the string before using the date time tool (if they vary say .001 and .050), before using a statement like...

%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
