Hi

How to change the date format in DD-MM-YYYY (15-04-2021) if the date is in 15-04-2021 11:44:00 in this format.

DD-MM-YYYY (15-04-2021) if the date is in 04-15-2021 11:44:00 in this format.

Thanks

Use the Date#() and Date() functions to make sure what you display on Qlik or load using the script is always going to have a consistent timestamp.

E.g.:
LOAD *,
Date#(Date(Field, 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm'), 'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss') AS FormattedDate
FROM ...;
The first date mask is the "output" format you want it into, in this case, Spanish: DD/MM/YYYY and without seconds.
The second date mask is the "input" format from the field, in this case DD-MM-YYYY and with seconds.
