Convert Date time string

KCAgentProvocateur

Hi there, 

 

I'm having issues with the formula below to convert using the Date Time tool:

 

2020-01-08T17:53:35.000Z

 

I tried using: %Y-%m-%dother%H:%M:%S but the value came out as [null]

 

Id appreciate the help!

 

Thanks,

Kerry

Hi @KCAgentProvocateur ,

 

Try using this custom format in date time tool.

%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z

Use this string instead:

 

%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S

 

This tool works like RegEx and you can just enter the character "T".

I had an issue with the .000Z part. I just left it off and it worked fine with the following structure from string to date format:

yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss
