Hi, How can 6 digits in a field (string) will be converted into date format?

 

For example:

 

DATE:

201119

 

And I want to convert it into

11/19/2020

 

Can you help me out with this one please?

@dunkindonut7777 ,

 

 I'd try:

 

datetimeparse([date],"%y%m%d")

 

 that should work.  You should try references date specified in the help pages for more help.

 

 Cheers,
