okay, i did it the long way.

makedate(right(left(HOLD_DATE,11),4),match(left(left(HOLD_DATE,11),3),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'),SubField(left(HOLD_DATE,11),' ',3)) as HOLD_DATE

Not sure if this is efficient but if any of you have a better solution, then please do suggest.

Try this:

=DATE(date#(left('Apr 1 2019 12:00AM',index('Apr 1 2019 12:00AM',' ',3)),'MMM DD YYYY'),'D/MM/YYYY')

Try this

=Date(Date#(DateField, 'MMM DD YYYY hh:mm TT'), 'D/MM/YYYY')

or

=Date(Date#('Apr 1 2019 12:00 AM', 'MMM DD YYYY hh:mm TT'), 'D/MM/YYYY')

Hi

This works for me:

Date(Date#(Trim(Left(HOLD_DATE,11)),'MMM D YYYY'),'D/MM/YYYY') as HOLD_DATE
