I'm trying below very simple VBA code to convert to Datetime
Sub datetimedifffference()
Dim d As String
Dim sd As Date
d = "2021-04-06T12:56:16+0000"
sd = Format(CDate(d), "mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss")
Debug.Print sd
End Sub
But it is giving type mismatch error Any help would be highly appreciated
I again tried below, but the difference of time is decreasing instead increasing
Sub datetimedifffference()
Dim d As String
Dim sd As Long
d = "2021-04-06T12:56:16+0000"
sd = DateDiff("n", Now, Format(convertStringtoDate(d))
Debug.Print sd
End Sub
Function convertStringtoDate(stringdate As String) As String
Dim strings() As String
strings = Split(stringdate, "T")
convertStringtoDate = strings(0) & " " & Left(strings(1), 8)
'Debug.Print convertStringtoDate
End Function
You can use this generic function:
' Converts an ISO 8601 formatted date/time string to a date value.
'
' A timezone info is ignored.
' Optionally, a millisecond part can be ignored.
'
' Examples:
' 2029-02-17T19:43:08 +01.00 -> 2029-02-17 19:43:08
' 2029-02-17T19:43:08 -> 2029-02-17 19:43:08
' ' IgnoreMilliseconds = False
' 2029-02-17T19:43:08.566 -> 2029-02-17 19:43:08.566
' ' IgnoreMilliseconds = True
' 2029-02-17T19:43:08.566 -> 2029-02-17 19:43:08.000

Public Function CDateIso8601( _
ByVal Expression As String, _
Optional ByVal IgnoreMilliseconds As Boolean) _
As Date
Const Iso8601Separator As String = "T"
Const NeutralSeparator As String = " "
' Length of ISO 8601 date/time string like: 2029-02-17T19:43:08 [+00.00]
Const Iso8601Length As Integer = 19
' Length of ISO 8601 date/time string like: 2029-02-17T19:43:08.566
Const Iso8601MsecLength As Integer = 23
Dim Value As String
Dim Result As Date
Value = Replace(Expression, Iso8601Separator, NeutralSeparator)
If InStr(Expression, MillisecondSeparator) <> Iso8601Length + 1 Then
IgnoreMilliseconds = True
End If
If IgnoreMilliseconds = False Then
Result = CDateMsec(Left(Value, Iso8601MsecLength))
Else
Result = CDate(Left(Value, Iso8601Length))
End If
CDateIso8601 = Result
End Function
Then apply the format of yours to the returned value.
