    Hi Anonymous,

     

    AFAIK, dax formula has datevalue function which can convert text value to date but it only support convert text format date value.

     

    According to your snapshot, I found your filed values seems not same as valid text format date values, I'd like to suggest you do some additional steps to use datevalue to convert original text column.

    Column = DATEVALUE(LEFT([MonthYear],3)&"/"&RIGHT([MonthYear],4))

     

    Regards,

ryan_mayu,

Below specified date value is coming from a field, have created a calculated column to get the required part like "Sep1218", after that tried to change the data type and does not work for me.

Please try to create another column to transform the data. Hope this is helpful.Thanks.

 

DATE = 
VAR Y=RIGHT(Sheet7[Column1],4)
VAR M=LEFT(Sheet7[Column1],3)
VAR MONTHNUMBER=SWITCH(M,"JAN",1,"FEB",2,"MAR",3,"APR",4,"MAY",5,"JUN",6,"JUL",7,"AUG",8,"SEP",9,"OCT",10,"NOV",11,"DEC",12)
RETURN DATE(Y,MONTHNUMBER,01)
