Maybe like this

=Timestamp(Timestamp#(Subfield(Mid('Fri Jan  1 00:00:56 2016.262',5),'.',1),'MMM  D hh:mm:ss YYYY'),'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss')

[there are different approaches possible to interpret your input value, but basically, use interpretation timestamp#() function on the relevant part of your input value and format using timestamp()

For example, if you want to keep the milliseconds in the numeric representation:

=Timestamp(Timestamp#(Mid('Fri Jan  1 00:00:56 2016.262',5),'MMM  D hh:mm:ss YYYY.fff'),'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss')

]

Get the Dates Right

Why don’t my dates work?
