Challenge #46: Formatting a Date from an Integer

KOBoyle

Solution attached. Since a formula was required to convert the first digit, I used the DateTimeParse function. Other responses put me onto the DateTime parse tool, which looks like a much easier way convert strings in a standard format to dates.

I spent some extra time playing around with this one to make it work with a single formula.

REGEX_Replace(
(if Left([date], 1) = "1" Then REGEX_Replace([date], "(1)(?:\d{6})", "20")
elseif Left([date], 1) = "0" Then REGEX_Replace([date], "(0)(?:\d{6})", "19")
ELSE "Blank" endif)
+
right([date],6),
"(.{4})(.{2})(.{2})", "$1-$2-$3")

Here's my attempt; bit different to the solution as I used left and substring.
