Convert Text to DateandTime

Hi Team,

I have below text and I want to convert it into a Date and Time.

Example:

Text:  "01/07/2025 12:00:35 PM"

Date and Time: 01/07/2025 12:00:35 PM or 01/07/2025 12:00:35 PM GMT+00:00

  • Not able to get the desired output if i use only todatetime(). I think need to use more functions to get the exact value i am specifying.

    What is the desired output? Are you missing the seconds?

  • Getting below error when used todatetime()

    Expression evaluation error at function a!forEach [line 6]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function 'todatetime' [line 19]: Could not cast from Time to Date and Time with Timezone.

    OK. What is the original data type? When trying to convert a string, this works great for me.

  • Output of the report data is being used to generate this text which needs to be converted into datetime.

    Text is generated like 

     index(split(fv!item.c0, "_"), 3, null)

    output: "01/07/2025 12:00:35 PM"

    todatetime( index(split(fv!item.c0, "_"), 3, null))

    ERROR:

    Expression evaluation error at function a!forEach [line 6]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function 'todatetime' [line 19]: Could not cast from Time to Date and Time with Timezone.

    The split() function returns a list of strings. Not sure where that Time datatype comes from? Can you share more of your code? Ideally a fully working isolated test case?

  • Its not working if reportdata is 

    local!reportdata: {{c3: fn!datetime(2025, 1, 7, 5, 12, 2, 300), c0: "Workflow_00001_01-07-2025 12:00:35 PM", c1: 1, c2: "Process", dp1: null, dp0: 1055133, dp3: null, dp2: null}, {c3: fn!datetime(2025, 1, 3, 5, 20, 6, 410), c0: "Workflow_0001_01-03-2025 06:09:35 AM", c1: 1, c2: "Process", dp1: null, dp0: 1060892, dp3: null, dp2: null}, {c3: fn!datetime(2025, 1, 2, 12, 40, 13, 960), c0: "Workflow_0001_12-07-2022 06:09:35 AM", c1: 0, c2: "Process", dp1: null, dp0: 1060315, dp3: null, dp2: null}}

    Where is this value in the c0 field coming from? Why is it like this? Is there no way to get that date directly as an individual field?

    Try  the below code

  • date and time is part of a text and we need to extract date and time part and return in the same format as date and time data type
