Unix Date From

The Unix Date From algorithm is used to convert a Unix timestamp to a Date/Time string.

 

For example, if the source data/time is specified as 1560261698 (Unix timestamp in seconds 1560261698), using this step you can convert this value to human-readable date, like, June 11, 2019 2:01:38 PM.

 

Please check some other examples below:
