How can I achieve a date from a value

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone. 

I have a birthday column with values like below where first two digits are date(dd) and last two are months(mm)

2411

0908

2211

....

.....

what is the best way to achieve a date format(mm/dd/yyyy) out of these values. 

Also the YYYY value should be automated.  it should reflect the current year.

I would do something like
Date(Year(Today()), Right(DateValue, 2), Left(DateValue, 2))
where DateValue is the four digit birthday. You could then wrap that in a Text function to get the desired formatting like Text(..., “mm/did/yyyy”). I am away from my computer so hopefully I nailed the syntax. If not, hopefully the general idea is there.

Hello Partha,

An example to use as a reference:
Button1.OnSelect= ClearCollect(ColBirthday,1111,2202,3103,1305)

Gallery1.Items = AddColumns(ColBirthday,"Date",Left(Text(Value),2)&"-"&Right(Text(Value),2)&"-"&Year(Today()))
You can add two labels in the gallery  and if you set Label1.Text = ThisItem.Date, you can see the date you have asked for.
