Hi,
I'm importing data from an csv file, there is a column showing date, time and time zone information.
This column is loaded as text, how can I convert it into date time format?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Jeanxyz ,
you can change the data type using the data type icon in the column header.
I don't know how important the time zone is, you should remove it beforehand. Extract the first 19 characters.

Thanks, it works! I didn't realize that time zone information is causing the problem.
