Goodday guys,
Ive got a simple question (i hope), i have a table with dates in them but they are in an english format for example 20190618 or 20210131 but i need them to be in the format 06-18-2019 and 01-31-21.
Is there a simple formula to change the format ?
i have multiple columns with this format so if there is an easy to do this besides making 10 new calculated colums it would be appreciated 🙂

You add a custom column in power Query:
Date.FromText
(
Text.Middle([Dates],4,2) &"/"&
Text.End([Dates],2)&"/"&
Text.Start([Dates],4)
)

@RonaldvdH , if they already idetified as date , you can use format from column tools
for use format
new column format([Date], "mm-dd-yyyy")
Text to text
new column mid([Date],5,2) & "-" & right([Date],2) & "-" & left([Date],4)
