This values are in separate fields? What is the date format? If the values are separated, then the easiest way would be to use native javascript function: substring (https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_substring.asp).

Then to store the substrings in a single variable, and in the end insert that variable into a field you will then use for storing the ID.

In Nintex Forms You can use Calculated Value Control, e.g.

Hello Lakshmi, 

This was extremely helpful. I tried following the same approach you did but didn't calculate the sub-string start and length parameters correctly. I was able to achieve the desired result after correcting them based on your post.

Thank you!

Hello Lauer, 

 

Thank you for quick turn-around. This really helped in extracting the sub-string from First and Last Name.
