Solved: Re: Date Time Conversion Error

Anonymous · ‎12-27-2020

Hello,

I have survey data that has a DateTime in Text format. When I changed the type to Date/DateTime, it produced errors. Can anyone help me to work around this problem?

Thank you for your help.

@Anonymous your column contains timezone information, first change the type to date timezone, and then in the next step change it to date or date/time based on your need.
