transform to date

Hi!

 

One column will for some reason not transform from text to date. When I press Edit Queries and change the information in the column from text to date,  everything seems fine, but when I press close and apply, the information is still in text form. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Please provide a sample of the data you are trying to transform? Sometimes simply changing the type doesn't work and you have to use conversion functions, like Date.FromText() or massage the original data a bit before converting to a date. I'd need to see your data though provide additional assistance.
