Azure Application Insights - Parse string in format dd/MM/yyyy to datetime

Question

The question is pretty direct: how can i parse a string like "23/12/2017" (dd/MM/yyyy) to a datetime?

Answer 1

Assuming you're asking about Application Insights Analytics this should do a trick:

todatetime("2015-12-24") == datetime(2015-12-24)
