How can I convert 2020-12-14T18:24:27.000Z to 12/14/2020 in Google Sheets?
The Format > Number > Date command does not change the timestamp to a date.
The conversion can occcur in-place or a separate column.
You can extract the date portion of the timestamp using MID() then use DATEVALUE() to convert it to date format.
=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,1,10))
Then use Format > Number > Date command.

MID()
DATEVALUE()

I have a column, in which datetime in text format "2022-04-12 07:09:10 UTC". I want to change this into IST time zone and convert it into date format only
You'll need to extract the date and time then add on 5h30m. From there you can either wrap it with INT or format the column to show just the date. For the one below, I used INT, which will strip the time after it is converted.
=ARRAYFORMULA(
IF(ISBLANK(A2:A),,
REGEXREPLACE(A2:A,"UTC","")+
TIME(5,30,0)))
I am struggling to convert a bunch of dates in Google Sheets.
My dates are in the format mentioned in this image.
Some dates have AM/PM in them, while some have a / instead of a -.
I need to convert them to yyyy"-"mm"-"dd" "hh":"mm":"ss while converting the time to 24hour format in case of PM.
Does anyone know a way to achieve this?
The problem is that most of your data uses the American date convention m/d/yyyy while your spreadsheet uses the Indian d/m/yyyy date convention. But then again, some of the data appears to already be in the ISO8601 format you are requesting as the result format. To convert all the dates, use this:
=arrayformula(
if(
isnumber(A2:A) + isblank(A2:A),
A2:A,
regexreplace(A2:A, "^(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)(.+)", "$3-$1-$2$4") + 0
)
)
Format the result cells as Format > Number > Date time or as the custom format you mentioned. See the new Solution column in your sample spreadsheet.
Suppose your raw data is in A2:A. Clear B2:B and place the following into B2:
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,IFERROR(DATEVALUE(A2:A&"")+TIMEVALUE(A2:A&""),DATEVALUE(A2:A)+TIMEVALUE(A2:A))))
This formula has error control built in, to handle the raw data if there is a mix of strings and real date-times.
Next, select the entire Column B. Apply Format > Number > More Formats > Custom number format and enter the following in the text field at the top: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
Row 1: cell A is a concat of the date in B and the time in C. I generate these with CTRL+: and CTRL+SHIFT+: respectively. Google sheets does not treat this like a timestamp on the x axis of charts
Row 2: I discovered CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+: to do a full timestamp, now it has a real timestamp
The issue is, I have many rows of recorded data of the type in Row 1 -- is there any way to convert this into a 'time' format that Google Sheets will respect on the x-axis of charts? Using VALUE() just gives the date portion of the timestamp.
Kind of crazy how much trouble this is causing me, is there really no date_parse(string_format) type function I can call?
EDIT:
this is ridiculous, just going to export and use python
instead VALUE use TIMEVALUE and then format it internally to time
or:
=TEXT(TIMEVALUE(A1); "hh:mm:ss")
for arrayformula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A1:A="",,TEXT(TIMEVALUE(A1:A); "hh:mm:ss")))
for timestamp > date use DATEVALUE
I have the following string in Google Sheets, extracted from a MySQL date format:
2018-05-28 23:10:23.477
I need it to be converted to a date format in Google Sheets, including the milliseconds.
Please try:
=text(A1,"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000")-0
I have the date variable which is in string format. I need to convert this to numeric or date format. How can I do this?
Example:
var1
2010/07/09
2010/07/16
Thanks,
Tanuvi
If you read in the date value as a string, you can use Transform > Date and Time Wizard to convert it to an SPSS date variable. Although date variables look like dates in various formats, they are actually represented as the number of seconds since 1582 and can consist of calendar and time information.
