Formula for Day of Month

How would I create a formula for the day of the month?  I currently have a VWString format setup for 2023-10-12 and I would like to add another column that only represents the 12.

Hey @heatherpaquette, you can just use the DateTimeDay() function in a Formula tool expression which isolates the day part of an ISO-formatted date:

 

 

DateTimeDay([Field])

Thank you very much, that worked great.  I'm a new user so just trying to get familiar.

No problem @heatherpaquette - glad that helped! As you'll always need dates in ISO format to work with them, the day will always be the rightmost 2 characters so you could also use the following which just takes N characters from the right of the string:

 

Right([Field], 2)
