Make IFTTT Date Format play nice with Google Spreadsheets

IFTTTDate.md

##Date and Time

=TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE("{{OccurredAt}}"," at ", " ")) + DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE("{{OccurredAt}}"," at ", " "))

##Date

=DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE("{{OccurredAt}}"," at ", " "))

##Time

=TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE("{{OccurredAt}}"," at ", " "))

---

To Use

Simple just place either or both separated by ||| in the
Formatted Row Input on IFTTT

👍 🙏

Thanks, Oscar. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I've just recently begun playing with Siri Shortcuts and now IFTTT.

Another solution working form me right now:
=DATEVALUE(REGEXREPLACE("{{OccurredAt}}";" at .*$"; " "))

• REGEXPREPLACE instead of the more simple SUBSTITUTE
• use of ";" instead of ","

Thank You sir,
Helped me make my time tracking sheet much more elegant.

Thank ! I spend 24h looking for a solution and that seems to work!

Uh... there is a much better way to deal with this.

In IFTTT, you add a filter you can format the date so you don't then have to play with it in the Sheet side.

For example, using the following filter:

let mytime = Meta.currentUserTime.format('l LT');
let update=MakerWebhooks.event.Value1;

GoogleSheets.appendToGoogleSpreadsheet.setFormattedRow(mytime + "|||" + update);

Which will format the all of the entries like so:

\m/

function myFunction(e) {
  Logger.log(JSON.stringify(e));
  if(e && e.changeType === 'INSERT_ROW') {
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
    var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
    sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),1).setValue(new Date());
  }
}

In Google Sheets you can just use this formula:

=TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," at ", " ")) + DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," at ", " "))

I simply replaced {{OccurredAt}} with the cell reference -- i.e., A1
