Nowadays I stay away from this, it caused me too much trouble in the past. Glide’s underlying date/time format combined with Luxon was not friendly for Safari, and it almost always returned “invalid” for me. I would just convert it to a numerical column, I believe Bob had the same method in his video. I usually do YYYYMMDD so my formula is: YEAR(D)\*10000 + MONTH(D) \* 100 + DAY(D) With D being the timestamp in question. I used the new luxon format for dates (Plugin) and liked it but was kinda warned away from it by Thinh and Bob especially since I develop occasionally in Safari (but mostly chrome). Glad it is working - any issues so far? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/thank-you-for-date-format-plugin/44020)._
