Converting Date in Text Format to Date in Date Format
I have dates (i.e. 11/27/2019) in a table column that are in a text format. I need to add a column with that table that has the date in the date format. Is there a formula or process to convert a date in a text format to a date format?
There are a few in M language which you can use in edit query mode. Refer

In Dax format should to both ways.
You can use a formula like this on the text. Change the data type to text or create a text column
Combine = mid(DD__MM__YY[Date],4,2) &"/"& left(DD__MM__YY[Date],2) & "/" & right(DD__MM__YY[Date],4) & " "& DD__MM__YY[ time]Example of format
FormatDate = FORMAT(DD__MM__YY[Combine],"dd/mm/yyyy HH24:mi:ss")Appreciate your Kudos. In case, this is the solution you are looking for, mark it as the Solution. In case it does not help, please provide additional information and mark me with @
Thanks.
