  • 1.  Change text field to date:time

    How can I change this: shipment-date
    2017-06-25T04:59:14+00:00 which is now a text field to this: 2017-06-25 04:59:14 as a date/time field

    What is the formula syntax to do it?

    Try this

    var Date DatePart = Left([shipment-date],"T");
    var TimeOfDay TimePart = Right([shipment-date],"T");

    ToTimeStamp($DatePart, $TimePart )

    yes: Sloppiness on my part :)

    OK, let's try that again
    Try this

    var Date DatePart = ToDate(Left([shipment-date],"T"));
    var TimeOfDay TimePart = ToTimeOfDay(Right([shipment-date],"T"));

    ToTimeStamp($DatePart, $TimePart )

    I am not getting any error massages

    But when I save it, the cell is blank, no data in the cell

    OK, this is tested

    var date DatePart = Date(
    ToNumber(Left([shipment-date],4)),
    ToNumber(Mid([shipment-date],6,2)),
    ToNumber(Mid([shipment-date],9,2)));

    var TimeOfDay TimePart = ToTimeOfDay(Mid([shipment-date],12,5));

    ToTimestamp($DatePart, $TimePart )
