This example illustrates how the DATE and TIME functions operate. Both functions require that their outputs be formatted properly using the DATEFORMAT function.
DATE- Generates valid Datetime values from three integer inputs: year, month, and day. See DATE Function.TIME- Generates valid Datetime values from three integer inputs: hour, minute, and second. See TIME Function.DATETIME- Generates valid Datetime values from six integer inputs: year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. See DATETIME Function.DATEFORMAT- Formats valid Datetime values according to the provided formatting string. See DATEFORMAT Function.
Source:
| year | month | day | hour | minute | second |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 10 | 11 | 2 | 3 | 0 |
| 2015 | 11 | 20 | 15 | 22 | 30 |
| 2014 | 12 | 25 | 18 | 30 | 45 |
Transformation:
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | DATEFORMAT(DATE (year, month, day),'yyyy-MM-dd') |
| Parameter: New column name | 'fctn_date' |
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | DATEFORMAT(TIME (hour, minute, second),'HH-mm-ss') |
| Parameter: New column name | 'fctn_time' |
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | DATEFORMAT(DATETIME (year, month, day, hour, minute, second),'yyyy-MM-dd-HH:mm:ss') |
| Parameter: New column name | 'fctn_datetime' |
Results:
NOTE: All inputs must be inferred as Integer type and must be valid values for the specified input. For example, month values must be integers between 1 and 12, inclusive.
| year | month | day | hour | minute | second | fctn_date | fctn_time | fctn_datetime |

| 2015 | 11 | 20 | 15 | 22 | 30 | 2015-11-20 | 15-22-30 | 2015-11-20-15:22:30 |
| 2014 | 12 | 25 | 18 | 30 | 45 | 2014-12-25 | 18-30-45 | 2014-12-25-18:30:45 |
You can apply other date and time functions to the generated columns. For an example, see YEAR Function.
