Transform month name and year into date format

Hi all

 

How can I add and transform 2 columns from power query that contains the month name and year into mm/dd/yyyy format.

So for the first example where it says 2019 January, the new column should be 1/1/2019.

 

Thanks!

@o59393 add custom column with this expression in Power Query

 

Date.FromText(Number.ToText([Year]) & "-" & [Month] & "-01")

Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.
