Hi Community,

 

Would like to ask how to convert the following the date format to the output as per below.

Original

1.09/29/2015

 

Output

1.2015-09-29

 

Do we need to choose the type as date if we need the output as above?

 

many thanks again for the help

Formula:

 

 datetimeparse([original],"%m/%d%Y")

 

 this will create a good date for Output. 

cheers,

Hi @SH_94 

 

Here is one way of doing it using datetime tool, select string to date and give the input date format.

I am not sure if the prefix "1." is important, gave a try.
