Reformat data

Thu, 23 Apr 2015 06:19:54 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to re-format the data from a field that supposed to hold date value.

The raw data looks like:

2015-04-22T23:12:10.000+0300

Now when I try to create a line graph with these values the graph shows me a straight line, if I use the "purgechar" function I can only remove specific characters:

Purgechar(date, 'T23')

Is there a way to re-format the date so I would be able to create a line graph?

Thanks!

Try changing the date field in the load script into more usable date buckets.

IE:

CHANGE:

load

Date

...

from <>

TO:

Load

Date(Timestamp) as Date,

Year(Timestamp) as Year,

Month(Timestamp) as Month,

hour(Timestamp) as Hour;

Load

timestamp#( left(Date,10) & ' ' & mid(Date,12,12) ,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff') as Timestamp

...

from <>
