My dates/effective dates are all formatted as "yymmdd", how do I convert this to a date? DateTimeParse and other similar formulas have not been working.

Hi @mattpeltcfa, you will have to convert yymmdd format into yyyymmdd and then use DateTimeParse. 

 

Use a formula tool to convert 200336 using a formula.
