Hey everybody,

I have a huge csv file with the attribute field "modify_date" and the date is in "Timestamp" - format (so for example 746841600000).

I would like to have it in ISO Date format (1993-09-01 02:00:00).

Is there any transformer which can do that? The Date/Time Converter is not able to do that...

 

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Fabian

this is from the NGA, so data I downloaded has this timestamp. The Unix Timestamp is just 3 digits less.

Timestamp: 746841600000

Unix Timestamp: 746841600

Ah, in that case just use an AttributeCreator to create a new attribute, filling it with the original date/time value divided by 1000. Then the DateTimeConverter:

It looks like an epoch time, but not the standard Unix one. Where is this coming from?
