how handle dates problem

[Anonymous]

I have a variable date which is initially 20151231

I always got this date initial as the following picture

I feel confused , is there a way to resolve it ?

Your variable-value won't be recognized as date. If you creates the variable use a format-function, something like this:

let vFromDate = date(date#(20151231, 'YYYYMMDD'));

hi ,

for all date variables use date functions to convert to appropriate format, so that you can use thee variable in calender object and also it will be easy to  do any calculations to calcute time period.
