<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a string field, 12.30.14 that I need to format into a date field mm/dd/yy.<br />
Using the formula below, it returns 3/30/12, <br />
<br />
Can you identify what I am doing wrong?<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />
if isnull({@Split Left Email Name}) then Date(0,0,0)<br />
<br />

if ({@Split Left Email Name}='') THEN Date(0,0,0) <br />

Date(ToNumber(LEFT({@Split<wbr /> Left Email Name}, 2)),<br />

String field convert to date

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
