Multiple time format in the same field

[mah]

Hi,

I have a field which contains epoch date and date time like %Y%m%d :

I want this format %Y%m%d for all values in "date" field.

How can I convert epoch to date like %Y%m%d in this field ? 

Thanks !

hi @mah,
Try this:

| eval date=if(match(date, "\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}"), replace(date, "-", ""), strftime(date, "%Y%m%d"))

If this reply helps you, an upvote/like would be appreciated.

Hi @manjunathmeti 

I tried your solution and it gave me this : 

20210201 = 22-08-1970 : there is a problem ...

I tried another command : 

| convert timeformat="%Y-%m-%d" mktime("date")

and thant's worked ! All values in %Y-%m-%d format are converted to epoch time !

Thanks for your help !

Did you wanted Date field values in "%Y%m%d" OR in epoch format?
