Hello guys,

I am an extreme beginner,

I have my data as a date in the incorrect format, I'm looking to auto-convert each figure into a specific "date" category.

Can someone please explain how to do so?

Thank you so much in advance

You'll need to use a formual field with `DATETIME_PARSE()` and the correct format specifiers.

Here's something to start you off:

Formula:

IF( AND( Date, Year ), DATETIME_PARSE( Date & " " & Year, "MMM D YYYY" ) )

Link to base

That worked! Thank you so much. Currently, it has the time at the end which is unnecessary, how can I remove this with the script you have given me above?

Ah to do that you'd just need to modify the settings of the field itself and toggle "Include time" off
