Queries, and they frequently need the time to be in UTC. (Coordinated Universal Time) or Local Time. The following functions will convert a DateTime field to either UTC The date/time can be put into an arbitraryĭateTimeFormat(,"%d-%m-%Y") This function will parse a date in an arbitrary format: This allows for consistency if the process takes a long time. In a batch process, this time will be used with each new set of data.

DateTimeLastOfMonth() Returns the last day of the current month, with the clock set to one second before the end of the day (23:59:59).Īlteryx uses the date and time when the formula is first parsed.DateTimeFirstOfMonth() Returns the first day of the current month, at midnight.The time is set to midnight of the beginning of the day. DateTimeToday() Returns todayâs date.DateTimeNow() Returns the current date and time.Several functions are based on the current date and time: The date/time functions are not sensitive to case.

The date/time functions do not handle time zones, as Alteryx uses the time zone of the server. Use the Date/Time tool or DateTimeParse function to convert a string to a supported Date/Time format. Strings that use the correct syntax but denote invalid dates (for example, â a nonexistent date) will also produce field conversion errors.

The functions will report field conversion errors if they are given bad input, or if a parsed date does not match the expected format. The functions take dates or strings as input, and then return strings as output (with one exception). Strings in this format can be used directly without parsing.
