The DATEPART function returns a date/time value that is normalized to the start of the day, to match other date/time values on the same day.

Note:
To get a string that contains the date only, use this:

TEXT(MONTH(date_modified))+'/'+TEXT(DAY(date_modified))+'/'+TEXT(YEAR(date_modified))

Syntax

DATEPART('<tt>[[dString]]</tt>'))

Examples

DATEPART('04/22/2009 03:15 am') = '04/22/2009 12:00:00 AM'
 
DATEPART(DATE ('2009', '04', '22', '03', '15',  '00')) = '04/22/2009 12:00:00 AM'
