Date formatting

Hey team,

 

Can you please help, having a mare with this one! - i've tried using the community to get to the answer and it's just not working 😞

 

This is the date format i'm getting when I use the Date Time too in Parse

I'd like the data to read like 07 Aug 2013

 

If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know!

 

Many thanks,


Lois.

Hi @LoisGower 

 

Your configuration should be something like to get as 07 Aug 2013

Hi @LoisGower,

 

Not sure if you are aware but you will need to have this data in a string format.

 

This is the formula you need to use:

 

DateTimeformat([DateTime_Out],'%d %b %Y')

 

I have also attached a workflow for you.

Hi @LoisGower,

 

The dates in Alteryx needs to be in one format. If you want to get a different format you can use a date-time tool or formula tool to transform it into a string,.
