Hi @Anonymous -create a calculated column that replaces the text values with a specific date

 

EOS Date Cleaned =
IF(
ISERROR(DATEVALUE([EOS date])),
BLANK(),
[EOS date]
)

 

Hope it works

Hi @Anonymous - Can you try below calculated column

 

EOS Date Cleaned =
VAR IsValidDate =
    NOT(ISERROR(DATEVALUE([EOS Date])))
RETURN
    IF(
        IsValidDate,
        DATEVALUE([EOS Date]),
        DATE(1900, 1, 1) // or BLANK() if you prefer
    )
