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.
We have 2 dataspaces (Training and Current), the training one had a link to a list in a Model. When i tried to add a link to the same list in the Current dataspace, the link showed as ticked and i could not select it. Does this mean you cannot link to the same source in 2 different dataspaces? It shows a tick in the LINK…
Module 1 : UID * FCST - source Module 2: FCST - Mapping Module 3: UID * Time Range- Target formula used in module 3 module1.line item[lookup: module2.timeperiod]
Would someone advise how to find the App hub. I am following the module directions but I do not see it on my end.
