Convert year to date

Featured Replies

I know there is something totally obvious that I'm missing, but I just can't seem to figure this one out.

I've got data that I've imported that shows a year as a 4 digit number (1983, 2004, etc). I need to get FileMaker to view that as a date. How can I use a calculation to say that

DateField = January 1 (YearField)

I've tried GetAsDate(YearField), but since FileMaker doesn't think it's a real date, that doesn't work.

Date( 1 ; 1; YearField)

Date ( 1 ; 1 ; YearField )

Ahhhh I was using that, but my silly silly mistake was that I was using a Date field type and doing an "AutoEnter" calculation, rather than making it a Calculation type field with results as a date. Ugh. Thanks for the help all.
