how to convert time zone of a datetime in google sheets

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)))

Date Conversion in Google Sheets

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

Convert timestamp to date in Google Sheets

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()

How do I pull the month from text strings in this Twilio format 2019-08-22 06:12:58 MDT?

I am using the Twilio log file to crunch some data and need to convert the Twilio format for dates into something that Google Sheets can recognize as a date so I can then extract what month the date is referring to. I think that first, the text string has to be converted to be a better format and then I can use one of Google Sheets functions to extra the month. Currently, this is the format in the log file:
"2019-08-22 06:12:58 MDT"
I used GoogleSheets TIMEVALUE and TEXT functions.
=TIMEVALUE(I2)
and
=text(I2,”mmmm”)
I get "Formula Parse Error"
The timezone stamp is messing up the Google formulas for you.
So you may want to try getting rid of that with something like this:
=text(index(split(I2," "),,1),"mmmm")
The split function breaks up the logged time stamp into 2019-08-22 | 06:12:58 | MDT across three columns.
And the index function then gets the just the first column - the date bit from there.
And then the text function gets the month name out of the date.
you can use:
=TEXT(LEFT(A1, 10), "mmmm")
and in array it would be:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(LEFT(A1:A, 10), "mmmm"))
