how to convert date to text

Hi there I was wondering how do you convert 2/3/2020 (which is a date format) to 2/3/2020 ( a text format)

Accepted answers

Hey - Can you try the below replacing "Date Format" with your date formatted line item:

TEXT(MONTH(DATE FORMAT)) & "/" & TEXT(DAY(DATE FORMAT)) & "/" & TEXT(YEAR(DATE FORMAT))

Thanks.

Just thought it would be relevant to share this idea;

Would make this process a lot easier!

@CallumW I upvoted that!

Surprisingly, @jnoone suggestion is not even mentioned on the data conversion Anapedia page.

I can't tell you how often I have to make this conversion.

@Jmanaplanner46 just make sure you make that conversion in a system module. Calculate once, reuse often...

I have upvoted this too!

I agree that how many times we need to do this.

It would simply things if we have a direct solution to this.

Almost similar to @jnoone approach, if it is required for the date and month to be in 2 digits, I usually convert the date to number using formula

YEAR(DATE FORMAT) * 10000 + MONTH(DATE FORMAT) * 100 + DAY(DATE FORMAT), and then convert it to text format using TEXT and MID functions.

Try using the Name(Date Line item), it will return as text.

@rishi8118 Date line item is a Date format and NAME() will convert an list item or list format Line Item to text.
