    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,
