Formatted Date = IF ( IFERROR ( FIND ( "-", 'Sample'[Complete Date] ), 0 ) > 0, DATE ( CONCATENATE ( "20", RIGHT ( 'Sample'[Complete Date], 2 ) ), SWITCH ( MID ( 'Sample'[Complete Date], 4, 3 ), "Jan", "1", "Feb", "2", "Mar", "3", "Apr", "4", "May", "5", "Jun", "6", "Jul", "7", "Aug", "8", "Sep", "9", "Oct", "10", "Nov", "11", "Dec", "12" ), LEFT ( 'Sample'[Complete Date], 2 ) ), DATEVALUE ( 'Sample'[Complete Date] ) )Best Regards
