Hi,

I have a schedule with a the following date format -

19-Jul3 is equal to Jul 19th 2019

19-jul2 is equal to Jul 19th 2019

19-jul is equal to Jul 19th 2019

There schedule starts at 2019.

How can I convert this to an actual date type? The numbers at the end are giving problems..
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Is this just text in a cell? Can you post the data with the XL2BB tool?

If you are intending to use Power Query, there are lots of ways of doing it. The below is just using the interface (no manual M Code).
Hard coding 2019 concerns me a bit though, how will you know when it refers to a different year ?
