DECLARE @Test TABLE(Value DATE)
INSERT INTO @Test VALUES ('')
SELECT ISNULL(Format(IIF(Value='19000101',NULL,Value),'MM/dd/yyyy'),'') FROM @Test
Usually it happens when mistaknely trying to insert an empty string so I would fix this so that those 1900-01-01 dates are null as well. Also my personal preference is to format data on the "client" side. For example here you force this format while by getting
a real date out of SQL Server you can still easily test this value, compute Something and possibly support whatever language you want....

01/01/1900 as NULL

ISNULL(Format(YP.TCCP_DATE,'MM/dd/yyyy'),'') as Field_Value6,
I am already using the above but needs to add reading 01/01/1900 as NULL.
How can I add that?

Hi,
If SQL Server 2012 or later you could try :
DECLARE @Test TABLE(Value DATE) INSERT INTO @Test VALUES ('') SELECT ISNULL(Format(IIF(Value='19000101',NULL,Value),'MM/dd/yyyy'),'') FROM @TestUsually it happens when mistaknely trying to insert an empty string so I would fix this so that those 1900-01-01 dates are null as well.

Use COALESCE.
