Hi,

Can you try the following?

Parse DateTime

DateTime.ParseExact(yourString,"d/M/yyyy",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")

Regex

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(yourString,"\b(\d)\b","0$1")

Hello @lakshman @Yoichi

I have a “Date” Column which contains date’s as shown below…

Date
4/4/2022 00:00:00
11/4/2022 00:00:00
16/04/2022
7/4/2022 00:00:00
20/04/2022

Here… for first 2 rows
CDate(row(“Date”).ToString).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”) is working…
But when it comes to 3rd row it is throwing an error.

So…
I have used
DateTime.ParseExact(CDate(row(“Date”).ToString).ToString(“dd/MM/yyyy”), “dd/MM/yyyy”, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
The above code is also working for first 2 rows and throwing error when it comes to 3rd row.

Please help me…
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you share output of row(“Date”).ToString for 3rd row using WriteLine activity?
