Hi,

 

I have an issue which I need to resolve. I have excel numeric date and dates in a column

20/08/2022

44739

44739

44746

I viewed on the forum some feeds and I tried the DateTimeAdd but it hasn't worked

 

Much appreciated any advice

 

Regards

Dan

@DanielCarro One way of doing this. The dd/mm/yyyy formatted can be converted into alteryx datetime format using the DateTimeParse() function and the numeric part can be converted using the toDate() function.

@DanielCarro, another way of doing this. Assuming there are many ways of entering the date. Everytime you have a different date format you can match the regex first then parse the date in alteryx date format.


if REGEX_Match([Date],"\d+") then ToDate(tonumber([Date]))
elseif REGEX_Match([Date],"\d+/\d+/\d+") then DateTimeParse([Date],"%d/%m/%Y")
else [Date] endif
