I have a library with a couple of Date Columns, 1 is a library Date Column the other is a Date Lookup Column (from a list in the same site) that accepts null value.
Issues:
- Output from this 2 different Columns Date type in the same format
- Output Column 1 (desirable output): 11/20/2015
- Output Lookup Column
- Before Regex: 180;#2011-11-30 00:00:00
- After Regex: 2011-11-30
- Regex syntax:
I used 2 Regular Expression steps to remove the lookup id/token (.*;#) and then to remove the seconds (sdd:dd:dd). I then tried to convert value - text to date
(format mm/dd/yyyy) - but I keep getting data type error.
Questions:
- What is a more efficient method or syntax to get the date and convert it to mm/dd/yyyy?
Grouping and transposing using just one Regular Expression step? (d{1,};#)([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})
([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}), followed by something that removes and transpose.
Like the below for date only? That would apply to 2011-11-30
- Grouping: ([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})
- Transposing: 2/3/1
- Is there a better way to accomplish this?
- Is there a way to convert text to date? And then format the output as desired? mm/dd/yy
