Dates are not recognized in spanish

[Jose_Munoz]

I am using DATETIME_PARSE, but it has problems with some months in spanish, as you can see in the screenshot.
I am trying to convert those months, but I cant get the way.
Any ideas ??

A collection of nested SUBSTITUTE() functions should do the job to replace the Spanish abbreviations with their English equivalents (this sample only swaps a few; add more nested functions to cover any missing months with spelling variations):

SUBSTITUTE(
  SUBSTITUTE(
    SUBSTITUTE(
      {Fecha Vencimiento}, "ABR", "APR"
    ), "DIC", "DEC"
  ), "AGO", "AUG"
)

Wrap that inside a DATETIME_PARSE() function:

DATETIME_PARSE(
  SUBSTITUTE(
    SUBSTITUTE(
      SUBSTITUTE(
        {Fecha Vencimiento}, "ABR", "APR"
      ), "DIC", "DEC"
    ), "AGO", "AUG"
  ), "DD-MMM-YYYY"
)
