Hi @Abhii2658 ,

 

the DateTime functions will help you solve this problem.

 

First step is to convert the [Date] column to a Date data type. As there are two different date formats (YYYY-MM-DD and DD.MM.YYYY) you should use a Formula tool with a condition to apply the "right" DateTimeParse function:

 

2021-08-23_08-38-04.jpg

 

A new field [Date_Converted] with data type "Date" is created. 

 

Second step could be to extract year and month using the functions DateTimeYear and DateTimeMonth from this column.

 

I've attached a sample workflow, hope this is helpful.

 

Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best,

 

Roland
