Edit Question
Title
Body
I receive data in a certain format. Dates are numeric(8,0). For example 20120101 = YYYYMMDD There exists rows with values like (0,1,2,3,6) in that date field, thus not a date. I want to check if it is a date and convert it, else it can be null. Now the following code works, but I was hoping there is a better way. (CASE WHEN [invoice_date] LIKE '________' --There are 8 underscores THEN convert(datetime, cast([invoice_date] as char(8))) END) AS Invoice_Date Any help will be appreciated.
