Convert Mongo DB Dates

Hello, I am using the Alteryx API to get the last run date for workflows on the gallery. However, the date that I am being provided is /Date(1643792417000-0500)/. I am not sure how to convert this. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I am not a MongoDB expert, but all databases like to store dates as integers. From what I can tell by looking at some MongoDB reference documents, this formula should work for the date integer [the value before the '-']. In this formula field [a] is the value you provided.

 

DateTimeAdd('1970-01-01',[a]/1000,'seconds')

 

This returns 2022-02-02 as the date.
