Comparing Two Date Values in Interact

The value of a Date variable is always stored in Milliseconds. However, a Date value is displayed on X‑Platform showing only the standard Month, Day and Year.

This means that two displayed values may show the same date (e.g., 10/29/2018) even though their stored values are different (e.g., 10/29/2018 15:45:33:445vs. 10/29/2018 15:45:37:214.

It's important to be aware of this difference in certain scenarios, for example, when you want to check the value of two dates to see if they are equal. In such a scenario, you will need to parse each date without its millisecond value in order to receive the correct answer.
