Date time Parse

JAIN2

Dear All,

Can you please advise how to parse a string field like this 10-Jul-20 09.29.32.521000000 AM. I need a standard date time format to allow performing a Date time difference between two dates. 

 

Many thanks for your help in advance. 

 

Regards

Hi @JAIN2 , try using datetimeparse function it will convert your date format into standard format that alteryx use.

 

Formula:

DateTimeParse(Substring([Field1],0,18)+" "+Right([Field1], 2),"%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S %p")

@JosephSerpis great answer, although this doesn't round the seconds based on the milliseconds. @JAIN2 if you care about that, then you can amend Joseph's formula to:

datetimeparse(left([Date],16)+tostring(tonumber(substring([Date],16,5)),0)+" "+RIGHT([Date],2),"%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S %p")
