how I can split the date field like This

 

2006-04-01 00:00:00.000 +0200

I tried The text to columns tool to separate it and I filled the delimiter with space but it doesn't work

Hi @Khaled_Eid 

 

Apologies i had the slash the wrong way round (have updated original post) - if you use \s it should work. Doesn't matter what the data type is.

That shouldve worked. If its a date format, you can use regex as well '(.*)\s(.*)\s(.*)'

Can you share a set of your data, even just the formatted date field?
