What is the correct string format required by the DateTime tool to convert a date string?

The string format required by the DateTime tool to convert a date string in Alteryx is the format that includes the full name of the month, along with the day and year. Specifically, this format is day, month dd, yyyy.

This format is essential for the DateTime tool because it clearly indicates the order of the date components: the day, followed by the full name of the month, the day in a two-digit format, and then the four-digit year. The inclusion of the full month name allows the DateTime tool to accurately interpret and convert the strings into date formats, as it removes ambiguity that could arise from numerical representations of months.

For instance, using "01, January 01, 2023" would be directly recognizable as January 1st, 2023. This clarity is crucial for proper date conversions, ensuring that the resulting date objects function correctly in any subsequent analysis or calculations within Alteryx.
