I'm getting an excel extract from a software application we use and the date is in the below format. I've tried multiple ways to convert the date however I still can't get it to convert. Ultimately I would like the date to include the year also which I can concatenate (don't know if that's the best way of doing it) and then display the full date dd/mm/yyyy. All my attempts have failed so far and I would greatly appreciated your support. Thanks
