I am trying to convert the time format from YYYYMMDD-HHMM
and YYYYMMDD
to mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm
. My issue is that the data is not consistent. Below is some exemple:
x
20200814-1230
20200814-1230
20200814
20200814
I tried to use:
CONVERT(datetime,LEFT(id,8),120) + ' ' +
LEFT(RIGHT(ID , 6) ,2) + ':' +
SUBSTRING(RIGHT(ID , 6) , 3,2),
but the issue is that some data does not have time.

You can do it like this:
declare @dt varchar(100) = '20200814-1230'
select
substring(@dt, 5,2) + '/' +
substring(@dt, 7,2) + '/' +
substring(@dt, 1,4) +
case
when len(@dt) > 8 then
' ' +
substring(@dt, 10,2) + ':' +
substring(@dt, 12,2)
else ''
end
