assume: [date] is in the following format: yyyymmdd
create a new column named [dateFormatted] and apply the formula as follows:
- dateFormatted = Date(Left([date],4),Right(left([date],6),2),right([date],2)
select the new column and change its type to date as follows:
[dateFormatted] will now be of type date, formatted as: dd Mmm yyyy

8 years agoI also found that this simple formula would convert your date from a YYYYMMDD string to a true date. Add as a new column:
DateFormatted = Date.From([IDT_DTM_ID])
