Explicit working sample

id,date
1,28/10/2026
2,01/11/2026
3,31/02/2026

Convert date columns with explicit input formats and timezone rules. Date-only formats are YYYY-MM-DD, DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY; invalid dates are rejected rather than rolled over. Timestamp input requires an explicit ISO offset and is converted to the chosen IANA display zone. No ambiguous date guessing. Failed rows can be preserved and reported or reject processing.

Prepare the input

Convert date columns with explicit input formats and timezone rules.

CSV, TSV and arrays of scalar JSON objects are supported. Identifiers stay text. Empty cells are missing by default; add special missing tokens only if their meaning is certain. Use the sample to inspect the exact workflow.

Keep the useful output

Review the summary and result records. Transformation tools retain separate change, rejected-record or diagnostics datasets where relevant. Choose the dataset before exporting; a report and a cleaned dataset serve different purposes.

CSV exports protect formula-like text. JSON keeps data portable without making an Excel workbook. Reports and editable backups may contain private source values; download only what you intend to share. No automatic account storage or server processing is used.
