hello You dont need to do the string manipulation as you have shown in your question. If you have dates stored in mm/dd/yyyy format just cast it as DATE. SELECT cast ( a .[ PAYOFF DATE ] AS DATE ) FROM MTG a For 1900-01-01 values since you are converting from a string data type to Date String datatype can have Empty strings but Date datatype cannot have empty date values It can have either a date value or NULL value. Therefore you need to convert the empty string to nulls before you convert it to date. 1900-01-01 is just a default value sql server puts in for you because Date datatype cannot have an empty value. You can avoid having this sql server default value by doing something like this. SELECT cast ( NULLIF ( a .[ PAYOFF DATE ] '' ) AS DATE ) FROM MTG a Thanks R.K

The condition in where clause not which with any result thats why you are not getting any record. Check your where condition.

Plz use case when read formate of this type :- select CASE WHEN column_name = '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' THEN '' ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(10) DateEdited 103) END from table_name
