The ConvertDateTimeFromString() function converts a date value formatted as string to a date value and returns it as string.

The function expects at least one parameter and returns the date value as string. If a date value should be returned, the function ConvertToDateTimeFromString..

ConvertDateTimeFromString('Date as text', 'Format 1', 'Format 2', 'Format 3', ..)

With the following format values 'd.M.yyy', 'd.M.yyyy', 'dd.MM.yyy', 'dd.MM.yyyy' these date values can be recognized or converted: “1.1.12”, “1.1.2012”, “01.01.12”, “01.01.2012”

ConvertDateTimeFromString($value, 'd.M.yy', 'd.M.yyyy', 'dd.MM.yyy', 'dd.MM.yyyy')

With the following format value 'dd.MM.yy HH:mm' date values with time can be recognized, e.g:

ConvertDateTimeFromString('08.10.15 10:15','dd.MM.yy HH:mm')

returns: 2015-10-08T10:15:00

ConvertDateTimeFromString('2020-06-19T07:22:12.194Z')

The 'Z' at the end indicates that it is a UTC time (GMT) and so the function returns in summer (CEST): 2020-06-19T09:22:12.194
