UNIX_TIME

Creates a new column containing a number representing epoch time (Unix time)—the number of seconds since January 1, 1970—based on a source column or input value. If time zone can be inferred, the output is in that time zone. Otherwise, the output is in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

Parameters

• sourceColumn – The name of an existing column.

• value – A character string to evaluate.

• targetColumn – A name for the newly created column.

Note

You can specify either sourceColumn or value, but not both.

            "sourceColumn": "TIME Column 1",
            "targetColumn": "TIME Column 1_UNIXTIME"
        }
    }
