Twitter datetype to Power BI date type

Hey,

 

I have Twitter date that have a specific Twitter format for date:

Sun Oct 15 15:55:29 +0000 2017

 

I would like this to be:

15 10 2017

 or any workable variation on this. Is there any way to do this in Power BI?

@xadya I am assuming the format of twitter dates doesn't change at all

 

  1. Using powerquery extract the year and the date
  2. Create a separate Months table with Month Name and Month Index (1-12)
  3. Then write a calculated column to combine all 3 (year, month, date) into a single date

Here is the output
