Greetings Everyone!

 

I have the following question:

I have date stored in a character format (24) and I want to convert it to a datetime format.

The date is stored in this type of format

2020-12-03T14:00:00.000Z

 

I tried Input(<field>, datetime24.) with no luck.

As an example I have the following row:

ID Date
000000039 2020-11-04T08:30:00.000Z

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
