Date Format Correction

Hi,

I've got a field in the data set where the dates are formatted incorrectly i.e. the same field contains the format dd/MM/yyyy and yyyy/MM/dd.

 

 

21/04/2020

01/11/2015
2018/01/04
2011/11/02

 

 

Thanks in advance

@Adarsh_R3,

 

Alteryx default date format is yyyy-MM-dd however if you want to change it you can use datetimeformat.

Please see below

Hello,

 

On you workflow Click on the Add/Remove tools to add the Parse tool and use the Date time tool.

Hi messi007,

 

thanks for your suggestion... but I'm getting the following error.

 

Does this mean that we have even more date format in the same field?

@Adarsh_R3,

 

Yes, you can do a group by in the column Accounting Date and it will give you the different format.
