I am looking for a formatted date field using Created. So I created a calculated column titled Added with the following formula: =TEXT(Created,"m/d/yy"). Data type is Date and Time. Date and Time Format: Date Only.
I added the column and all existing entries for this list have the new column working properly. However, when a brand new item is added my calculated column displays 12/30/99. If If I view a list column and save it all items in the list are updated and the column is properly displayed.
Is there another approach or a way around this?
First of all, newly added items to the list worked fine. It was when I modified an item that the date erroneously fell back to 12/30/99. The fix was wrapping
Createdin brackets[Created]. I’m still curious as to what exactly was happening if anyone cares to debug or offer an answer 😉
