Datetime
When operating on arrays, it is not necessary to use apply
with todatetime
. If multiple parameters are passed, or one parameter is an Array, todatetime
will return a Datetime Array.
Text will be parsed in 'm/d/y' format to form a datetime.
When datetime values are presented to users in the interface, they are localized to the current user's timezone. This can cause the expected output to vary significantly. Additionally, the acronym of the local timezone (such as EST) is appended to a displayed datetime value when it appears in a form, an alert, or in an email.
todatetime(date(2005,12,13))
returns 12/13/05 12:00 AM GMT
todatetime("12/13/2005")
returns 12/13/05 12:00 AM GMT
todatetime("12/13/2005","12/14/2005")
and todatetime({"12/13/2005","12/14/2005"})
both return {12/13/05 12:00 AM GMT,12/14/05 12:00 AM GMT}
