Converting Text to Numbers or Date fields 1

[malk]

I am using CR 8, and I am using CSV files as my data files. I have 2 strings of text that need to be other variables:
1- A string "MMDDYY" that I'd like to convert to date in the report, and use as a parameter field for date selecting.
2- a check Number String. I want to be able to run "greater then or Equal" functions on the number.
Please Help!!

You can convert strings to numerics with the ToNumber(x) or NumericText(str) function(s) in Crystal Reports. And you can convert numeric to string with the ToText(x) function. DateValue(number or dtring) function will work with dates. I hope this answers your question(s).
