What steps should i do to format this column to date like mm\dd\yyyy ?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Allorn
Your data looks like this before extracting the date
Right-click on the Column Header > Choose Transform and select TRIM
Then Click ADD COLUMN ribbon > CUSTOM COLUMN and paste the below code.
=if Text.Length([Dates]) = 14 then
#date(Number.From(Text.Middle([Dates],6,2)),Number.From(Text.Middle([Dates],3,2)),Number.From(Text.Middle([Dates],0,2)))
else
Date.FromText(Text.Middle([Dates],8,2) &"." & Text.Middle([Dates],4,3)&"."&Text.End([Dates],2))
Change the Type to Date
You can apply any formatting in Power BI Model.

@Allorn As long as your data consist of such two patterns, you might try such processing
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fcq9CoNQEEThV1msg8zO3uvPPEKClUIKsVNIkdb3j1gpiWnP+caxYJSoS8IcChTT7Zgob78Smz09l9nu69vYGqkIZbeufxhB/ADJldIZDK91BwGDixuorgGFSt5cg+0mRf0P5JDnA5g+", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Date Time" = _t]),
#"Extracted Characters" = Table.TransformColumns(Source,
{{Table.ColumnNames(Source){0},
each
if Text.Length(_) < 15 then Text.Start(_, 😎 else
[
l = Text.PositionOf(_, " ", Occurrence.All),
str = Text.RemoveRange(_, l{2}, l{4} - l{2})
][str]
}}
),
Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Extracted Characters", {{"Date Time", each Date.ToText(Date.From(_, "fr"), "MM/dd/yyyy")}})
in
Custom1

@Allorn
It seems your data is not in a uniform pattern, the 1st three rows are different from the rest. Can you confirm if this the way your data is saved?

@Allorn Ok, then, just tweak the code with appointing the "Source" to your file; and the rest will be coped with by the code.
