Change time format

I have a field called "Completed_On" in time format: 12/23/2020 14:16:51.

I'd like to remove the hours, minutes, and seconds so it just displays 12/23/2020. 

How can I do this?

HI @TheBravoSierra 

You can try using the strftime function:

| eval Completed_On_New = strftime(Completed_On, "%m/%d/%Y")

Hi @TheBravoSierra,

Try below;

| eval Completed_On=mvindex(split(Completed_On," "),0)
