Hi ,
I need help for creating a Date Column.
I have a text column having MMDDYY in it. I need to create a Date Column in Query Editor. The reason for doing in query editor is becasue as next step I need to calculate difference (# of days) between this and another date coloumn.
I have been able to split the text but upon merging it, I get this error. I also tried by changing Locale, but did not help on error.
Thanks In Advance for help.
