Hi all,
I have a variable Time, but its attributes is character. The example is
12/09/2016 05:15:00 AM
12/21/2016 05:23:00 AM
10/27/2016 08:35:00 AM
How can I convert this character to date and time, and still in one column? Since I have AM or PM there, is it possible?
Thanks,
Chen
Assuming that it is mdy date, then:
data want; txt="12/09/2016 05:15:00 AM"; dt=input(txt,mdyampm24.); format dt datetime.; run;
