How do I Concatenate Virtual Numeric Fields or Virtual AlphaNumeric Fields such as 5 10 18 to create a date from NN(5) NN(10) NN(18) into 2018/5/10 as YYMD.

Its trivial in Excel but seems overly complicated in Infoassist

Look in the doc for EDIT and concatenation. There’s nothing complex about the language or the syntax. Excel is neither a Business Intelligence platform nor an application development environment. You might be able to do a lot of things faster with Excel but in a BI application you have to account for a lot more than something that lives in a file on your laptop.

Below is the idea of using EDIT in WF , you can convert these dialog manager commands in your report's Define field .

 -SET &MM=12;
-SET &DD =10;
-SET &YY = 18;

-SET &DATE= EDIT(&YY,'2099')|'/'| EDIT(&MM,'99')|'/'|EDIT(&DD,'99');
-TYPE &DATE
