Date from text
Convert a text to a date object.
The input must match one of the following formats exactly; any other input
fails the step (InvalidDateFormat):
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
%Y-%m-%d | 2024-04-12 |
%Y/%m/%d | 2024/04/12 |
%d-%m-%Y | 12-04-2024 |
%d/%m/%Y | 12/04/2024 |
%m-%d-%Y | 04-12-2024 |
%m/%d/%Y | 04/12/2024 |
warning
Formats are tried in the order above, and the day-first formats are tried
before the month-first ones. An ambiguous input like 03/04/2024 therefore
always parses as 3 April 2024, never 4 March 2024. Month-first parsing only
applies when the value cannot be a valid day-first date (e.g. 02/13/2024).
