Constructors

CandidateDateTimeConverter(List<String>, List<List<String>>)

Specialized result of type inference used by DataPrep to suggest DateTime conversion. Note: It can be in valid or invalid state. Valid state means that, based on the scanned data, a list of unambiguous formats was detected and DateTimeConverter could be created from this candidate. Invalid state means that either sampled values seen during inference were inconclusive(like with 1/1/2018 it is unclear if day is before month) or conflicting.

Properties

AmbiguousFormats	Public Accessor for Ambiguous DateTime Formats.
DataType	Target Data Type Accessor. (Inherited from CandidateConverter)

Methods

IsValid()	Whether the object still contains ambiguous or not.
ResolveAmbiguity(Boolean)	Resolves date format ambiguity by keeping only one kind of formats.
