I have a Google Sheet with 3 separate columns for Day Year and month … and I would like to instead enter a Date field …It’s a simple table I’m moving to Airtable because it’s more user friendly IMO. … iut’s for about 2000 records.

Welcome to the Airtable community!

Check out the DATETIME_PARSE() formula function. It is documented in the Formula Field Reference. You may also need to refer to the list of format specifiers.

FYI … I tried this CONCATENATE(Month,Day,Year) but it didn’t quite work out …

I’m almost there … I first use concanate formula to string the text together and then I used Date time parse

the following formulat

DATETIME_PARSE({Text}, ‘M/D/YYYY’)

It worked except that it displays the time as 12:00am … is there an edit I can do to remove the time.
