About Date Decomp

Extract Day, Month, Year, and Weekday from dates.

The tool parses each value in your chosen date column and writes its components, day, month, year, and weekday name, into separate new columns, using the same date-parsing logic across the whole column so mixed formats are handled consistently. This turns a single opaque date string into discrete fields you can group, filter, or pivot by without writing any date-parsing formulas yourself.

Category: Transformation & Logic

Common Use Cases

  • Splitting an order date column into Year and Month to build a pivot table by quarter
  • Extracting Weekday from a transaction log to analyze which days have the highest sales
  • Breaking out Year from a signup date column to calculate customer tenure by cohort

Key Features

  • Extracts Day, Month, Year, and Weekday into separate columns
  • Consistent parsing across mixed date formats in the same column
  • Original date column preserved alongside the new fields

Run Datetime Reformat first if your source dates are inconsistently formatted, then decompose them here; the resulting Year/Month columns pair well with Rolling Stats for grouping trend calculations by period.

Frequently Asked Questions
