Converting Text column with fiscal periods to a date
Hello,
I have a relatively simple dataset with one column that lists fiscal periods, another with some product types, and another with sums of those product types.
I'd like to use this data to create a bar variance card, but Domo is currently looking at my fiscal periods column like they're 'text' instead of 'dates.' The periods are formatted like FY22P5, FY22P6, etc.
How would I convert the data column so that it's being looked at as a date as opposed to a string of text?

Hi @jkellams ,
I made you a video on how to do this: https://www.loom.com/share/5ce03a817b5a49c8b3b76b5f29bccb36
So you need to do some text formatting, but you can get the result.
