Hello, I need to convert this number formatted line item to 04/11/2022. Best approach?
Hi @melliott ,

How does this number come in to Anaplan?If it is imported in you could convert to date during import (assuming it comes with a leading zero, 04112022).

The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
