I need to clean up a date/time field so that Tableau can read it as a date field type.
Source fieldDesired format for calculated fieldThu Jun 12 15:19:51 GMT+0100 201412 Jun 2014
In Excel I can use the following formula to clean up the formatting of the source date field:
=TRIM(CONCATENATE(MID(A7,9,2)," ",MID(A7,5,3)," ", RIGHT(A7, 4)))
Is it possible to do the same with a calculated field in Tableau?
Thank you!
