I have this following code in a formula.

p = perf(close,1);
barDate = Date();
d = Day();
m = month();
y = year();

I want to export the values to a csv file so when I looked up the debug all values was there except for the variable barDate.

Why is that?

This is because "Date" function returns a string (Text value) and the debugger shows only numeric values.
