Converting DateTime Column to Date only and Time Only

[aijac1314]

Recently I found an error in appsheet, I am trying to create a virtual column which converting an existing column to DATE, below as the setting:

Original column is DateTime type, with initial value of NOW(),

Then I create two additional columns, which Date([Date Time]) and Time([Date Time]), it returning blank.

Now what i temporary fix this problem with: DAte(Left([Date Time],10)) and Time(Right([Date Time],11))

I wonder what happened.

Hi Steve, thanks for your prompt replied.

I was planning to make the screen shot, but weird thing is, it working fine now.

I wonder why I tried yesterday, it always returned blank.

Just want to make sure: is it my column name can’t be like “DateTime”? Due to DateTime is a reserved word?

I would expect a column named “DateTime” or “Date Time” to work fine in expressions–so long as it occurs between square brackets when you want the column value (e.g., [DateTime]) , or in quotes when you want just the column name (e.g., 'DateTime").

Hi Steve, I had to choose another option to get the value and I set the column as only Date.
Thank you anyway
