Date.FromText is not working

Hi All,

 

I am trying to convert a text column to date column. All the data is:

30/06/2023

I have tried to use a number of options,

Date.FromText( [column name], "dd/mm/yyyy")

Date.FromText([column name], [Format="dd MMM yyyy"])

Date.FromText([column name], [Format="dd/MM/yyyy"])

 

However, nothing is working and I am getting Error all the time.

 

Please can you explain why?

 

Thanks,

 

Naveen
