I am trying to remove square brackets around a date field in Google Data Studio so I can properly treat it as a proper date dimension.
It looks like this:
[2020-05-20 00:00:23]
and I am using the RegEx of REGEXP_REPLACE(Date, "/[\[\]']+/g", "")
and I want it to look like this for the output:
2020-05-20 00:00:23
It keeps giving me error results and will not work. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong here, I've used https://www.regextester.com/ to verify that it should work
Regarding Dates, it can be achieved with a single TODATE Calculated Field:
TODATE(Date, "[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]", "%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
The Date Type can then be set as required:
