Hello everyone,

I’m currently working in the Dataflow menu of Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC).
I’m trying to transform a period field that I derived from dates, in order to obtain a proper reference date in the format DD-MM-YYYY, starting on the first day of the period.

For example, for January 2025, my current field value 'Periode' is 20251, and I would like to convert it into 01-01-2025.

I tried using a formula in “Add a Column”, but it seems that the DATE() function does not exist in this environment.

Could anyone please help me with the correct approach or expression to achieve this?

Thank you very much,
Thomas
