Converting from AM/PM time to 24 hour time
My date fields are separated and the first step is to combine them. The code below works successfully.
EventDate,
StartTimeHour as ALT_StartTimeHour,
StartTimeMinute as ALT_StartTimeMinute,
StartTimeAM_PM as ALT_StartTimeAM_PM,
timestamp#(EventDate & ' ' & num(StartTimeHour,'00')
& ':' & num(StartTimeMinute,'00')
& ' ' & StartTimeAM_PM,'MM-DD-YYYY h:mm TT' ) as ALT_EventDate,
The output is in the AM/PM format, but I need the 24 hour format.
In a preceding load I have tried various timestamp and date functions. For example, the code below returns a null value.
timestamp#(ALT_EventDate,'MM-DD-YY h:mm') as ALT_EventDate2,

Try TimeStamp() instead of TimeStamp#()
TimeStamp(ALT_EventDate,'MM-DD-YY h:mm') as ALT_EventDate2,

Hi,
referring to this link:
Convert 12 Hour to 24 Hour Timestamp
try Manish and Tresesco suggestions
TimeStamp(Timestamp#(ALT_EventDate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss TT'),'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss') as ALT_EventDate
OR
SET TimestampFormat='DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss[.fff]';
TimeStamp(Timestamp#(ALT_EventDate, 'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss TT')) as ALT_EventDate

I think the issue was that I was using '-' as a date separator as opposed to '/'. The solution from Youssef works.
