Hi Team, Need help in converting a string value to date.

Hi Team, I have a column which is has string values. This column has data related to months and years. Example : Jan-23. The problem is when i am using this column in the chart, its not detected as a date and so i do not get options to filter month and year. I want a way by which i can convert these to a date value. And the result should show like Jan 23 and should be detected as a date.

What does your function look like? You should be able to do something like this:
STR_TO_DATE(`str_field`, '%b-%y')

You can use the STR_TO_DATE function in a beast mode or a formula tile in a magic ETL to convert a string to a date based on the format string.

I have limitations to edit it in etl. I can only do it in the beast mode. But as my data values only have Jan-23, Jun-23, May-22 etc, this is not letting me apply str to date.

Thank you, This worked. There were spaces in data, after removing spaces it has worked.
