String to date
Hi,
I'm trying to take the 'DUE DATE' column below (covered by the mouse) and turn those numbers into dates. 20123 is supposed to be 02/01/23
The solution I first thought of was to just split the columns but because it is showing up as text, it wont do that.
Is there a beast mode to just pull the last two, the middle two and the remaining digits into their own separate columns?
I am working in magic etl and am hoping to continue to do so
If this helps, feel free to agree, accept or awesome it!

@damen I'd suggest using the STR_TO_DATE function in the formula tile. Since there may be 5 or 6 digits, you can use the LPAD function to add a leading zero if the length is less than 6.
STR_TO_DATE(LPAD(`DUE DATE`,6,'0'),'%m%d%y')
Here is the KB article with all the date format specifiers to use with the STR_TO_DATE function: https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360043429953?language=en_US
