How to convert Numbers (41292) to Dates

I have a date field ASS_DUE_DATE that shows on the table numbers like 41292

In the data load Date(ASS_DUE_DATE, 'MMDDYYYY')

But did not convert the numbers to dates

How can I change the numeric value to dates so the table using this field will show the correct date

Thank you

Are you sure that your values are really numeric? You could try it with:

Date(num#(ASS_DUE_DATE), 'MMDDYYYY')

The Date() function should work, like

LOAD

     ASS_DUE_DATE,

     Date(ASS_DUE_DATE, 'MMDDYYYY') as ASS_DUE_DATE_FORMATTED,

     ...

FROM ....;


Could you post a screenshot of a tablebox that shows these two fields?

Try this you have to convert it to NUM and then convert to date format.

Load

ASS_DUE_DATE,
Date(Num#(ASS_DUE_DATE,'#####'), 'MMDDYYYY') as NEW_ASS_DUE_DATE

Date(Num(ASS_DUE_DATE), 'MMDDYYYY') as NEW_ASS_DUE_DATE_2
