Hey
How do I convert a date expressed as Text (Like this: "DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm") to Date and Time value?
In my case, I want to extract the most recent row of a connected Sharepoint list, the row with the latest date value in the column "Created" (default list column). However, the date shown in "Created" is in the form of Text and I need to convert it to Date and Time form to properly extract the most recent row of my list.
I tried the following code but didn't work:
Last(SortByColumns(ListName, "ColumnName", SortOrder.Descending))).
Thanks for any help
HI @JohnB_13 ,
Rather annoying that
DateTimeValue(YourText)
works fine for mm/dd/yyyy, but not for "the rest of us".
This should do the job
With(
{
_Split:
Split(
YourTextHere,
"/"
)
},
DateTimeValue(
Index(
_Split,
2
).Value & "/" & First(_Split).Value & "/" & Last(_Split).Value
)
)
