Hey @topazz11, you can use a Formula tool with the following expression:

 

DateTimeParse([Date]), ‘%m/%d/%Y’)

Sorry @topazz11 I made a typo and left a ) in after the square bracket of [Date] - just remove that. Should be:

 

DateTimeParse([Date], ‘%m/%d/%Y’)

I did that..still doesn't work.

any idea?

Hi @topazz11 

 

The quotes seem to be special characters - try DateTimeParse([Date],'%m/%d/%Y')

Great spot, @Luke_C! Typed the response out from my phone - had no idea iPhone keyboard quotes would be different!
