    Have a look at this

     

    Here's the code:
    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Day", Int64.Type}, {"Month", Int64.Type}, {"Year", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type", {{"Day", type text}, {"Month", type text}, {"Year", type text}}, "en-IN"),{"Day", "Month", "Year"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("-", QuoteStyle.None),"Date"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Merged Columns",{{"Date", type date}})
    in
    #"Changed Type1"
