Helo All,

 

I have a field that has date of birth (ex. 19540417) in it and that field is fixed decimal. I'm am needing to convert the field in designer to a string or date.

Hi @dwardTG 

 

Check this link to see how to parse dates.

 

In your case:

New Field: Date Type

DateTimeParse(ToString([Field]), "%Y%m%d")

 

Cheers,
