The link to last week’s exercise (exercise #45) is HERE
I love to share real world use cases as exercises. This week’s exercise comes from a customer that had data coming from in a legacy system and needed to transform the date field for a new system. It is a straightforward exercise but shows how easily Alteryx can apply business logic to most any data transformation problem.
Use case: The Input contains dates formatted as year, month and day. In this case, the first character determines if the year should begin with 19 or 20. If the first character is 0 then the year starts with 19, and when the first character is 1 the year starts with 20. The remainder of the date following the 0 or 1 is the remaining year digits followed by month followed by day.
Objective: Please convert these strings into date formatted field.
