    You can replace "rolling" with null in Power Query and set Data Type as Date. It is the best way to do it.

    Using DAX, you can use  RIGHT, MID or LEFT to achieve this , you need to share sample data to understand the format of the data.

Can you share a screenshot? In he date column with text, are the texts always at the same position?

 

For example:
rolling2021.1.1
rolling2021.1.2
