I am working with a new software system where the date was formatted as a number. For March 24, 2012, I get 1120324. There is always a prefaced 1. Ideally I would like to get 03/24/12. If anyone can help me get this result, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

In the Select Expert Formula Field:
tonumber({Table.Field})>=datediff('d',date(1916,1,1),currentdate)

date(mid({Table.Field},4,2)+"/"+left({Table.Field},2)+"/"+mid({Table.Field},2,2))

Thank you for the reply. It returns a true or false result, and no date.
tonumber({Table.Field})>=datediff('d',date(1916,1,1),currentdate)

replace the {Table.Field} with yours if you have then
try
date(mid(totext({Table.Field}),4,2)+"/"+left(totext({Table.Field}),2)+"/"+mid(totext({Table.Field}),2,2))

Thank you again, Kostya1122, but it did not work either. I did recieve a formula from Kevlray, which did work. So the day has been saved after all. Your posts were very much appreciated.
