Use the strptime function to convert the current format into epoch form then use strftime to convert that into the required format.  The two functions can be used in a single eval.

| eval timefield=strftime(strptime(timefield, "%d/%m/%y"), "%Y-%m-%d")

Hi @dhiraj ,

you have to use the eval command with the strftime and strptime options, like this:

| eval new_date=strftime(strptime(date,"%d/0m/%y"),"%Y-%m-%d")

Ciao.
