Wrong automatic Date assignment

Hi!

 

So I'm importing some data from an excel table and the way the data is formatted is  19Mar which is meant as 2019 March.

Its autodetecting it as march 19 *current year*

If you want the column to be a date, it will have to be manipulated with text functions before the conversion to date type.

If all dates are in the 21st century then try adding "20" to the front of each value. (Try adding a column with a simple formula "20" & value)

Then try converting to a date.
