Hi All,

Example 1 :- 08/02/2022 (MM/DD/YYYY)

Example 2:- 08-02-2022 (MM-DD-YYYY)

but I need only one format for both like  08/02/2022 (MM/DD/YYYY)

@Chinnu3  Please see below. You can use Alt() function to get this done.

NoConcatenate
Temp:
Load Date(Alt(Date#(Date_field,'MM/DD/YYYY'),
Date#(Date_field,'MM-DD-YYYY')),'MM/DD/YYYY') as [Effective Date]
Inline [
Date_field
08/02/2022
08-02-2022
];

Exit Script;

This should resolve your issue, if yes please like and accept it as a solution.
