Getting Date from text

yura_ratu — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 08:59:03 GMT

Hi everyone,

How can I get date from text in format 'MMM D, YYYY'?

For instance:

Apr 1, 2014

Apr 12, 2014

Thanks in advance

in which date format is your date now

Try this

Date(DAte#(Datefield,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'MMM DD YYYY') AS Date

Please only post one version of your question to ensure that there's no duplication of effort and that a correct answer can be set properly.

it depends on what format your date is currently in.

Let's assume your date input is DD/MM/YYYY

You can then convert this by using

DATE(DATE#(Date,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'MMM D, YYYY') AS Date
