How to get data to come in

[neg177]

Hi,

We are currently have a module that is dimensioned by a list of dates. Trying to figure out what is the best formula to use to bring List data in as a date for a LI.

Hi@neg177

Firstly if you have the list of dates in text formatted in any line item then you can use below way to get it into date format.

Hi@neg177

Anaplan has a function DATE that allows you to input year, day and month to convert numbers into a date. In your case, you'd first need to dissect your list item names into a year, day, and month and then use it as input in your DATE function.

See this example by@Misbahhere. This is the best way to go about it

Hi@ankit_cheeni@neg177

yes, its better to use Find formula to tell the position count if the format is not consistent.
