Description

The Date function constructs a Date from an ISO 8601 formatted date string.

Date only accepts a date string. An error occurs if you include any time information.

ISO 8601 dates

Date uses Java’s Date/Time API which understands a subset of the ISO 8601 standard. Not all date strings that are ISO 8601-compliant can be parsed.

The template for dates is yyyy-MM-dd, where:

  • yyyy represents the year

  • MM represents the month, from 00 to 12

  • dd represents the day, from 00 to 31
