Output a specific date

Dear all, 

 

I would like define the 28th of each month as a specific date (each date of the column "monat" should end with 28 // ex. 2020-10-28)  that is written into my date formular so to say. Are there any ways how to adapt such an adjustment to the follwing workflow? Please find Workflow, Input and Output data attached. 

 

Thanks for your help in advance. 

 

Best, 

Max

Yes!  Use a multi-field formula tool.  One stop updating.  

note however, if sometimes the date is not present, you'll need something like:

 

IIF(!Isempty([_current field_], left...., "")

Hi @MaxSchG 

 

I looked into your workflow. Basically you want to convert any date in column Monat to 28th of the month.

 

Formula

left([Monat],8) + "28"

Output:

I have added the formula in the last formula tool. Which had import date.
