Hello!
I need to create a new date from an existing date,
exemple date 25/09/2016
the new one should take 2016 as a year ,1 as month and 1 as a day that means 01/01/2016.
Tnahk you
Are you trying to align dates to the beginning of the year? If so, use the INTNX function.
The first parameter is the time interval, in this case year.
The second is the variable you want to use as a reference
The third is 0, because you're not changing the year.
The fourth is the alignment parameter and lets you align the date to the beginning, end, middle or same interval. In this case you seem to want the beginning.
Date = intnx('year', date, 0, 'b');
