Supported date functions accept the following input formats if X is a Text field or expression, or compatibility mode Date:

  • Any valid strptime format is accepted.
  • 'BASIC': %Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S
  • 'DEFAULT_DASH': %Y-%m-%d [%H:%M:%S]

  • 'RFC_3339': for example, 2008-05-24T20:09:47Z
  • 'DECIMAL_DATE': same as 'DEFAULT_DECIMAL'

Supported time functions accept the following input format if X is a Number field or expression:

  • 'SECONDS': seconds since Epoch
  • 'MILLIS': milliseconds since Epoch
  • 'MICROS': microseconds since Epoch
  • 'NANOS': nanoseconds since Epoch
  • 'JULIAN_DATE': days since Epoch
