Hi guys,

 

I m working on a dataset that contains the following column (see attachment). As you can see, the column contains serial number which is an another date format. I want to convert this serial format to the other date format yyyy-mm-dd

The column contains null values as well.

 

I appreciate your help.

Hi @Ma7moud  

 

You can use either the ToDate() and ToDateTime() functions in a Formula tool to automatically convert dates (thanks to @danilang for this tip!):
