Right way to utilize string operation on long date.

Golfoholic

I have a long date that I have converted to a text. Now I want to use the string operations tile to cut off the tail so I can have a nice clean date. the way it looks now in a string format is:

2022-02-24T12:08:34

What I want is:

2022-02-24

What I have been trying is:

But it leaving the date unchanged and that timestamp at the end is still there.

Thx

It is a bit odd why your Rent Last Changed field won't take the substring as it appears correct. Here's a few other options for you to try:

Utilize LEFT in a formula tile:

LEFT(`dRentLastChanged`, 10)

You could try to utilize a formula tile to convert it to a date:

DATE(TIMESTAMP(`dRentLastChanged`))

Alternatively you could utilize a regular expression:

REGEXP_REPLACE(`dRentLastChanged`, '^(\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d).*$', '$1')

Another method is to use SPLIT_PART in a formula tile:

SPLIT_PART(`dRentLastChanged`, 'T', 1)
