In order for Todate function to work, the data needs to numeric at first.

Hi @mmustkee 

 

You can use a multi-field method to convert multiple fields into date format.

Hi Qiu,

 

Thanks for the solution and it worked too. But lets suppose we have only one date column to change. so can we not use formula function without using Record id, Transpose or cross tab.

 

Thanks for your response in advance.

Hi @mmustkee 

 

Yes using ToDate() in a formula tool should work for single column.

 

Hope this helps 🙂

I am using the combination of Record id, Transpose or cross tab to make the solution dynamic.
so it would also work if you want only change one column and more important is that it will works if the columns increases.
