Hi Wu,

 

Greetings!

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Here is the high-level overview of converting the column to DateTime format.

 

  1. Split the column as Date and Time using the substring function.
  2. Split the Date columns as Day, Month and Year.
  3. Merge the columns Day, Month, and Year as separated by "-"
  4. Finally, Merge Date and Time columns separated by space.

 

I have attached a screenshot of my transformer for your reference.

 

Regards,

Rajesh.
