Date Format

Hi guys,

 

Here is my problem, I've got a column filled with same date format (August 31st and September 1st) but different delimiters. I'd like to standardize those format and put it in dd-mm-yy format since it seems to be in US 😕 

I've tried the tool "split column" but since I have different delimiters I can't use more than one (/ & -). And also tried the "replace value" tool (works but don't want spend my time doing all days in a month..).

Hi @Anonymous,

 

 

You can simply go to edit queries and then change the 'Data Type' of the column it will automatically adjust your data
