Hey guys, i would need some help with a date problem i'm having, its something like, my date format is like "yyyy-mm-dd" format, and i would need a solution that allows me to get the day of this date value and change it to "01" independent of the day it is, so if its day 26, 25 or even 13, the solution will change it to 01.

 

Someone knows how to do it?

Hi @TormentMaker 

 

Using a formula tool, put datetimetrim([Field],'firstofmonth'). Replace Field with your column name. This assumes the field is already stored as a date.

Hi @TormentMaker 

 

You can use formula like below

DateTimeFormat([Date],"%Y-%m-01")

 

Where day is fixed and set to 01

 

Hope this helps ðŸ™‚
