Hi Team,

 

I have data in the below format i am sharing the field name 

Serial NumberCategory Unit2022-04-015/1/2022and So on till date

 

I want to make the field name changes to Apr-22, May-22 and So on. Whenever the new file added the field name dynamically changes to  MMM-YY format.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks

Kaustubh

We can use the Dynamic Rename tool to first parse the target field to DateTime value then change them to your desired format.
but the sample will need  further modification if you have more types of format.

This is a weekly challenge can be good reference.
