Relative newbie here chaps - so thanks in advance for not actually laughing at the question I'm about to ask. As a heads up, someone has asked this question before, but the solution provided doesn't work (for me), so I'm a bit stumped.
My data source is providing a transaction date as '01-APR-2017', which I need to convert to '01/04/2017' - so by trial and error, I've done that bit through this formula: DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([EFFECTIVE_DATE], '%d-%b-%Y'),'%d/%m/%Y')
I was practically dislocating my shoulder patting myself on the back to have done this. And then my users said "oh, actually, can we change that to the last day of the month instead?" Of course, there is a last day of the month formula in Alteryx - but that's the last day of THIS month, not the month the transaction happened in.
So, sorry for all the whining, but my question is how do I convert '01/04/2017' to '30/04/2017' - which would equally apply to other months - so if transaction date was '16/07/2016', it would convert to '31/07/2016'?
