Hello @ pagarsach,

You can convert a string to date object using the strptime function.

Provide the date string and the format in which the date is specified. 

Example:

import datetime
date_str = '30062020' # The date - 30 Jun 2020
format_str = '%d%m%Y' # The format
datetime_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_str, format_str)
print(datetime_obj.date())

Output

This will give the output −

30-06-2020

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
