User needs to extract the expiration date with this format: MM/DD/YYYY.
Solution
To achieve the requirement, you can use these formula:
- If using Formula (Text):
(SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),5,2)) || '/' || (SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),7)) || '/' || (SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),1,4))
- If using Formula (Date):
TO_DATE(((SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),5,2)) || '/' || (SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),7)) || '/' || (SUBSTR(REGEXP_SUBSTR({inventorynumber},'[^-]+$'),1,4))),'MM/DD/YYYY')
