Text to columns doesn't work

I want to split Value column in two column, one with Y-m-d and other with hour. I added the Text to column block and insert /s as delimiter but the second columns is not filled.

Hi @elfunambolo 

 

Try delimiter as \s

The delimiter should be \s and you need to have the [DATE LOGGED] field set to string.

 

A better solution might be using a Formula Tool and using the formulae,

ToDate([DATE LOGGED])

To get the time, you can just use the Select Tool and set the data type to Time.

I already insert /s and I don't take Data logged as reference but Action Date columns

Hi @elfunambolo 

 

As @PhilipMannering  mentioned the datatype should be string. Since it was date you were facing this issue.

 

I changed it to string in a select tool and its working fine now.

I have some Date and Aging rows as NULL, why?

Hi @elfunambolo 

 

The date format present is "%Y-%m-%d" not "%Y-%d-%m"

 

You need to change "%Y-%d-%m" to "%Y-%m-%d"

 

hence you need to change it.

Hi @elfunambolo 

 

Ignore previous

 

I found the exact error.

I think you need to set the date format same as condition.

 

This might be copy-paste typo.
