Convert a string to a Date

Hi Community,

Maybe someone could help me...

I have a string field called 'Departure' populate like that = [January 11th 2018  12:00:00]

I would like to convert it into a Date field/dimension => [01/11/2018]

Maybe someone nice could help me...

my brain is going to expose

Thanks a lot,

Thomas

ps: currently I get only the number of the month with the formula below:

=wildmatch((LEFT(Departure,FindOneOf(Departure,' '))), 'ja*','fe*','ma*','April','May','Jun','July','August','September','October','November','December')
