Hello,

I am looking for the easiest way to remove the hyphens from a date 2025-03-25 to 20250325.  There should be a way in the Data Cleanse tool to remove dynamic characters.

not sure what you mean by dynamic characters, but it's because the output needs to be a string since your expected format is no longer a date

 

DateTimeFormat([field], "%Y%m%d") will work

Oh right, a formula. I wasn't thinking.  Thank you.
