hi @Anonymous - you can use calculated columns to do the same as seen in screen grabs below

Year = FORMAT(LEFT(Date_Period[Date Period], 4), "YYYY")

Month = FORMAT(MID(Date_Period[Date Period],5, 2), "MMM")

Date = DATE(Date_Period[Year], Date_Period[Month], 1)

Hardcoding the "Day" of each month as 1 to convert to a date field
