I'm trying to learn REGEX and I was wondering its usefulness with dates.
I have some hypothetical dates I want to convert to Alteryx's Date format. Currently I'm using this formula:
REGEX_replace([Field1],'(.*?)/(.*?)/(.*)','20$3-$1-$2')
I don't know how to pad the left of the day and month portions. Is there a way?
| Starting Date | Current Conversion | Desired Conversion |
| 2/3/16 | 2016-2-3 | 2016-02-03 |
| 2/13/16 | 2016-2-13 | 2016-02-13 |
| 12/3/16 | 2016-12-3 | 2016-12-03 |
| 12/13/16 | 2016-12-13 | 2016-12-13 |
I'm sure that there are some great macros that convert dates, but i am only doing this to teach myself the how i can better use REGEX.
