# cast to value

This block is part of the [`type casting`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/type%20casting) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Converts date to value.

- Date required `date` The date to be converted into a value.

- Value `value` The converted output value.

A typical wiring for [cast to value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/type%2520casting/date_convert_to_value): the `value` out pin feeds [convert to uppercase](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_to_uppercase).
