Date formula not working

May 29, 2009 10:17 AM (5831 views)
What could cause the Date function to not fill the column. I have three tables, one of which the Date Time : Date (MDY) worked just fine. In the other two tables however, after selecting the proper table columns (MONTH, DAY, YEAR), no date data filled the column. This seems so simple that I am rather perplexed. Ideas?

More info. I am using jmp 8 for OS X, I tried opening the table with jmp 7 and got following error (which did not appear in jmp 8)

Cannot convert argument to a number [or matrix] 1 times At rows: {1} Operation: Date MDY, Date MDY(:MONTH, :DAY, :YEAR)

Never mind... one of the columns was coded as "character", not "numeric". Duh!
