Hello
I’d like to use some fields in my table with a data-link as dashboard variables from and to.
The field contains a RFC formatted string. How can I convert this to epoch and use it in a data-link?
tried with ${fields.sessionStartTime:date:seconds} and ${fields.sessionStartTime:format:epoch:seconds} but they do not resolve
How can I achive this?
Thank you

Hi @usman.ahmad
There isn’t any solution for this problem in your answer / links.
I have the same problem and I didn’t find any solution since 1 year.
We don’t want to get the current dashboard time-range to the variable, but as @szalontaymate wrote, the timestamps to ábe added to data link are in a table (and they are not the same as the current dashboard start and stop time, so we are talking about completely different things)
To make it simple:
We have a table where we have several fields, 2 of the field are time stamps in following (string) format: “2023-08-05 05:23:26”
This is not epoch format, thats why we can’t use it for data link (as a “from” or “to”) because it only accept epoch.
Could you please help?
