I need to create a fixed length date field in this format YYYYMMDD. Can someone help?

Thanks,
rechless
 
Hi rechless

Assuming the data you are working with is a Date (or DateTime) field, you could convert it to text using the following:

Code:
ToText({Table.Date}, 'yyyyMMdd')

If the data is a text field, post an example of the existing format.

Hope this helps.


Cheers
Pete
