Returning a date column in a KQL table or materialized view

[pmscorca]

Hi,

is it possible to have in a KQL table or materialized view a date column with a such value '2024-10-24' and

not '2024-10-24 00:00:00.000'?

I'm trying to use todatetime() and format_datetime but unsuccessfully, I'd like to remove the time.

Thanks

Hi @pmscorca ,

The function format_datetime is available to fulfill your needs, please check the following KQL Query:

datatable(DateTimeColumn: datetime)
[
    datetime(2024-10-24 13:45:00.000),
    datetime(2024-10-25 09:30:00.000),
    datetime(2024-10-26 17:15:00.000)
]
| extend DateOnly = format_datetime(DateTimeColumn, "yyyy-MM-dd")

And the final output is as below:
