What data type does the DateTime tool in Alteryx primarily work with?

The DateTime tool in Alteryx is specifically designed to handle data that involves dates and times. This includes various operations such as parsing, formatting, and manipulating date and time values efficiently. It allows users to work with different date and time formats, enabling the adjustment, addition, or calculation of intervals in a straightforward manner.

While other data types like text, numeric values, geospatial data, and binary data have their respective tools and functionalities within Alteryx, the DateTime tool is uniquely tailored to manage and transform date and time information. For example, it can convert strings representing dates into a date format that Alteryx can process for further analysis or calculations. This specialization makes it an indispensable asset when working with temporal data in any data workflow.
