Hi Neeru K,

Make use of the makedate() function along with subfield.

your script should look something like:

date(makedate(subfield(datetime,'/',3),subfield(datetime,'/',2),subfield(datetime,'/',1)),'YYYY-MM-DD')

Hi,

Many thanks for your answer.

following is works for my case as Qlikview is reading data as DD/MM/YY hh:mm format I had to use below.

date(Date#([Created Date],'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm'),'YYYY-MM-DD') as %DateKey

BR,

Neeru
