Long load time due to date format

[deepakqlikview_123]

Hi All,

We are retrieving data from the SQL server database. It seems that the date is in the string format.

The current transformation for the date in Qlikview is Text (Date (datetime, 'DD.MM.YYYY')) as DateTime which is consuming more time.

Could you please suggest any alternative for this.

Your code looks not very useful to me. If you need to convert a text field to date field, you should use date#() instead. And why text()?
