Convert Date Format

JDong

Hi Team,

 

If we notice in the attached file, the 2021 date format is wrong. For 2020 we can see the date format to be in the DD.MM.YYYY but for 2021 it is MM.DD.YYYY

 

How can I change these values for 2021 only to show as DD.MM.YYYY. This also needs to be considered in future similar issues can happen in the data loads.

 

Thanks !

Hi @JDong,

 

You need to have some kind of identifier because this value 01.10.2021 can be two different months. 

 

In my opinion, you need to have some kind of identifiers to be sure that you are transforming the data correctly.
