    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
