@fieldew1 What is the datatype of the date being fed into your convert date tool? Check out the screenshot below as well, does this work for you?

 

Dates can be tricky due to the data types so make sure that is nailed down.

Thanks for this :)

 

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The datatype is V_String. Its basically 2nd July 2025 in a different format.

@fieldew1 I see the confusion, try this formula in your date time tool - dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm. Capitalize the month section, that's the difference between our formulas.
