Date Format

Hi,

The date in my data set is formatted as YYYY-DD-MM. As shown below:

By default domo assumes the date is YYYY-MM-DD. Therefore all my data is grouped as Jan 2016. Is there a beast mode calculation to reformat the date?

Thanks,
Angel

Can you change the format on the input side to conform to Domo's format? That could be the quickest solution. You could try using ETL or Beast Mode extract the date parts and reconstruct them into a new date column. Something like this:

STR_TO_DATE(
CONCAT(
  YEAR(`Date`) , '-' 
  ,DAY(`Date`) , '-'
  ,MONTH(`Date`)
)
,'%Y-%m-%d'
)

Just so people are aware. There looks to be a small syntax error here. The solution reads:

STR_TO_DATE(
CONCAT(
  YEAR(`Date`) , '-' 
  ,DAY(`Date`) , '-'
  ,MONTH(`Date`)
)
,'%Y-%m-%d'
)

It should read:

STR_TO_DATE(
CONCAT(
  YEAR(`Date`) , '-' 
  ,DAY(`Date`) , '-'
  ,MONTH(`Date`)
)
,'%Y-%d-%m'
)

You can simply do DATE_FORMAT(`Date`,'%m/%d/%y'), will save you concat.

I do have the same issue

The format of the Date column is "4/1/22" and if I want to use it as my key connector I should change it to Apr 1, 2022

None of the above solution worked. Can you help me find a good formula to put on the formula tile in ETL?
