Thought I would share the following...I was importing data with field called "Date" with this format "MM/DD/YYYY" but I needed to break out each of those elements (Month, Day, Year) for analysis purposes. And with a very simple addition to my load script it works great:
MyData:
LOAD Date,
Year(date#([Date],'MM/DD/YYYY')) as Year,
Month(date#([Date],'MM/DD/YYYY')) as Month,
Day(date#([Date],'MM/DD/YYYY')) as Day,
Description,

C:\somefile.txt
(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);
