Hi there I was wondering how do you convert 2/3/2020 (which is a date format) to 2/3/2020 ( a text format)
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...
Hi @CallumW and @JaredDolich ,
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.

Hi @Jmanaplanner46 ,
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.
@rob_marshall I feel like you would be able to answer my question, and if you can't then no one can.

Hi! I'm currently trying to set up an example for the forecaster and I'm running into various issues. At first (and I managed to resolve it by now) my data collection creation failed without any error messages. Next, after I managed to create it, my forecaster model is stuck on status 'creating' for 1.5 hours already. Is…
