Different formats of date in a column

[sujit_nath]

I have a table with date values in a feild, but with different formats.. ex: ddmmyyyy,ddmmyy,mmddyyyy,yyyyddmm etc.

How do I load then in a different table in a same format. (dd/mm/yyyy)

my data would be like:

Table:

Load * inline [

Date

11122017

01112016

090816

11022016

20172105

20162204

];

In the other table, I need the dates as: 11/12/2017 etc..

try with alt function

alt( date#( dat , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ),

date#( dat , 'MM/DD/YYYY' ),

date#( dat , 'MM/DD/YY' ),

'No valid date' )
