This is the different question, Initially you asked this "I have date 01/04/2020 in text datatype. Now, I want to convert and return to DATE datatype. Is there any solution?" answer of this I have already shared.

In Message(Format(abc)) suppose I have 01/04/2020 which is in text datatype. After evaluating with date type, my answer would be 01/04/20 which is a date datatype. But my task is to return 01/04/2020 with date datatype.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
