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

    )

with Blank()

Hope it works
