Hi all,
I am trying to convert a text column to a date format.
The original column contains the date in this format: wednesday 2 october 2018.
I want to have a column with the date in this format: 02-10-2018
Any suggestions?
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you split the column by the first instance of a space, i.e. getting rid of the day of the week, does that get it into a close enough format that it can automatically recognise it's a date?

This should work, the bold text can be added after your source code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKk9NyUstTkmsVDBSyE8uyU9KLVIwMjC0UIqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type text}}),
#"Inserted Text After Delimiter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Text After Delimiter", each Text.AfterDelimiter([Date], " "), type text),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Inserted Text After Delimiter",{{"Text After Delimiter", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type1"
