Insert Specific date in a column

Belletmns
8 - Asteroid

Hi All,

 

Need your help, from my raw data I need to insert a column with specific dates every month. It is divided into two cycles, every 1st - 15th of the month and 16th - 30 or 31st of the month (depending on how many days the month is).

 

Here is my raw data:

Here is what I want to achieve: 

 

EETypeNo.Start DateEnd date
E12105901/09/202015/09/2020
E22105901/09/202015/09/2020
E32105901/09/202015/09/2020

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Belletmns — You need to create two new columns through Formula tool:

Start Date:

 

"01/"+PadLeft(ToString([No.]), 2, "0")+"/"+DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),"%Y")

 

End Date:

 

"15/"+PadLeft(ToString([No.]), 2, "0")+"/"+DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),"%Y")

Try attached the workflow to know more about datatypes if you want date fields in String or Date.
