Hello.

Is there any way that I can read a 18-digit .Net system.datetime in Rapidminer? I like to convert it to something readable for a human.

 

Here is an examble of a number; 634019213109374850

Which should be converted to 2010-02-16​T12:48:30.937Z

    Hi,

     

    That is actually pretty tough.  Originally I thought, that you can just convert the ticks into milliseconds and convert this into a date object (see process below).  But the problem is that this does not account for DST, leap seconds etc. which means that in aggregate you are roughly 4 weeks off :smileysad:

     

    I posted the process for educational reasons but this might not something you can easily solve without calling an external .Net routine (which is possible, e.g. with a command line call done by the operator "Execute Program").

     

    Cheers,

    Ingo
