Hey @Abhishekjoshua,

By the looks of that formula you are converting a Date to the format of a day with two digits. This can be done with the datetimeformat function like this:

datetimeformat([Q2],"%d")

Would you be able to give some sample data from Q2 for context?

 

Here is the docs on this function: DateTime Functions | Alteryx Help

Hey @Abhishekjoshua, to recreate the =Text function like this, you'll want to use the DateTimeFormat() function in Alteryx with the %d identifier, for month it'll be %m  and %y or %Y for a 2/4-digit year respectively.

 

If your dates aren't already in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) then you'll first need to convert them into that using the DateTimeParse() function. More info on all of that here: https://help.alteryx.com/20223/designer/datetime-functions

Check and let me know if it worked as your expectation.

 

If not, can do some tweaks to get the desired result.

Hi @ShankerV , yes you got it right, that is the expected output

Can I know how did you achieve it? I got the date one right but the month and the year column is troubling.

Please help.

Please note that In your example the "Field1" data is different, hence you got 08, Jan and 2022

In my case the referred column data is in this format "8-Jan-22"

Hi,

 

One sec, we can work on 8-Jan-2022 also.
