  • 1.  How to write 20220915 as 2022/09/15

    Good day

    Can you please help me out as i am new to blue prism.
    How can i write this data item value "20201015" as 2020/10/15?. This value i am getting it from a business object as it is by using a read stage. I tried using split text and extract regex values but no difference.

    This value "20221015" is read and stored in the data Item as Text.
    FomatDate did also not work.

    Hi Helaria,

    Here's a way of achieving what you want, hopefully it can help you. 
    So first we need a way to extract the day, month and year from your text data item:

    Right([Data1], 2) - We are extracting the day here
    Left([Data1], 4) - We are extracting the year
    Mid([Data1], 5, 2) - We are extracting the month

    Then we need to make it a date:

    MakeDate(Right([Data1], 2), Mid([Data1], 5, 2), Left([Data1], 4))

    Then lastly we put it all together and format the date (The below expression is what you'll use in your calc stage):

    FormatDate(MakeDate(Right([Data1], 2), Mid([Data1], 5, 2), Left([Data1], 4)), "yyyy/MM/dd")

    There might be simpler ways of achieving this.

    I hope it helps you
    Thank you
