Timestamp value showing as floating-point: BigQuery to Domo
Hi All
I've recently set up a dataset using a MS-SQL connection to Tableau Prep which is cleaned to format the columns for an output to BigQuery which I then use to push the output into the Domo environment
In both Tableau Prep and BigQuery my date fields show as follows:
Tableau Prep: Date|Time
BigQuery: TIMESTAMP
But when I open my dataset with Domo M.ETL it shows as a floating-point value (10 to the power of 9)
Why would it show as a floating-point instead of either of the aforementioned and how can I convert it back to a useable date field for date|time calculations and visuals
Thanks
Dan

It sounds like the datetime is being treated as a numeric values such as seconds, which Domo must be interpreting as float. In your Magic ETL, try isolating the field using select columns and a formula tile with FROM_UNIXTIME. I believe the format is
FROM_UNIXTIME(`your_float_column`)
Or you could try formatting the time on the BigQuery side before sending it to Domo.
