Changing Date Format

Cfdiaz2103

Hi Everyone.

 

I'd appreciate your help if you could guide me how I can convert a string to a date data, if the original format is the following:

 

String Format Example:

Jun 2 2021 02:16PM

May 24 2021 9:12AM

 

Final Result

2021-06-02 14:16

2021-05-24 9:12

 

As you can see, I have some trailing spaces, including 2 trailing spaces if the Day or the Time Hour has one digit.

 

I´ll be grateful for you response.

Hi @Cfdiaz2103 

 

Here's an example. I didn't see extra spaces in your data, but I added one and the datetimeparse formula seems to still work fine, so you shouldn't have an issue.

 

datetimeparse([String Format Example:],'%b %d %Y %I:%M%P')

Hi @Luke_C !

 

It works perfectly. Seems like after copying the data just like before, it didn't bring the double trailing space as I had mentioned, but it's just fine.

 

Thank you for your support 😁

Hi @JagdeeshN !

 

That worflow suits perfectly, however it contains too many tools to reach the final result😁

 

Thanks in advance for your support
