Description

The Date.ToRecord function is used to convert a given date into a record containing its individual components: year, month, and day.

Examples

To store the different components of a date value into a record, you can apply the Date.ToRecord function on a date. This function will split the date into its year, month, and day components and store them in a record format.

Here’s how you can store each component of the #date( 2024, 8, 30 ) value in a record:

// Output: [ Year = 2024, Month = 8, Day = 30 )
Date.ToRecord( #date( 2024, 8, 30 ) )

• Year: 2024
• Month: 8
• Day: 30

This output makes it easy to access and use individual parts of the date separately in subsequent steps of your query.
