Changing date varchar to date format

Nirpanthan — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 19:05:27 GMT

Hi guys,

Facing an issue in which the Date is in varchar format(01-Jan-20,01-Feb-2020,01-Mar-2020 & 02-Jan-20,02-Feb-2020,02-Mar-2020)for 6 months data.

For eg: as it is in varchar it is getting sorted

Date

01-AUG-19

01-FEB-19

01-JAN-19

01-JUL-19

01-JUN-19

01-MAR-19

02-APR-19

02-AUG-19

02-FEB-19

02-JAN-19

02-JUL-19

02-MAR-19

02-MAY-19

03-APR-19

03-AUG-19

03-FEB-19

i want to make it into month/year

i have tried this:

Date(Date#(Date, 'DD/MM/YYYY ')), 'YYYY-MM-DD') as Date

Thanks in Advance

Use

Date(Date#(Date, 'DD-MMM-YY '), 'MM/DD/YYYY') as Date

Change the second expression to the format you need.
