Sample input:

ConvertJSONDate (“/Date(1486425600000+0000)/“)

Sample output:

07/02/2017

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let([
dateValue = Substitute (dateValue ; "/Date(" ; "" );
dateValue = Left (dateValue ; 13 );
dateValue = GetAsNumber(dateValue / 1000) ;
dateValue = dateValue / 86400 ;
dateValue = Substitute( dateValue ; "." ; "" ) ;
bdate = Date(1 ; 1 ; 1970) ;
dateValue = bdate + dateValue ] ; dateValue )

This little function will convert a JSONGetElement date format (.net) and convert it so that Filemaker can use it.

Works great with API's that return Json data that you need to parse dates from such as invoice payments.
