Split a field into Time & Date

Hello folks,

 

I've got a datafield called DateTime where the format is as follows;

 

11/28/17 1:00:00 AM

11/28/17 1:30:00 AM

....

11/28/17 1:00:00 PM

11/28/17 1:30:00 PM

 

I've tried about twenty different combinations of formatting and parsing the data but can't seem to get any to work. Ideally what I'd like is as below;

 

DateTimeDateTime
11/28/17 1:00:00 AM11/28/201701:00
11/28/17 1:30:00 AM11/28/201701:30
.........
11/28/17 1:00:00 PM11/28/201713:00
11/28/17 1:30:00 PM11/28/201713:30

 

So a split down the middle and then the time reverting to a 24 hour clock, but I simply am being dense and can't figure it out.

 

Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi @Brawlstrogg,

@Brawlstrogg Another option would be to add a formula creating a field called Date with the following expression:

REGEX_Replace([DateTime], "(.*?)\s.*", "$1")

and a second field called Time with the following expression:

DateTimeParse(REGEX_Replace([DateTime], "(.*?)\s(.*)", "$2"),"%X")

Hope this helps and gives you some exposure to some new formulas you may not have ever used before!

Always looking to learn more formulas!

 

Thanks very much!
