Hi Excel users,

here is an old question.

Convert a text date to a date. I have the following text: Wednesday, May 23, 2018
This needs to be converted to a date: 23.05.2018.

I have separated every variable: Day ( Wednesday) Month and Year using text function but I don't know how to proceed further.
Please help.

Thanks.
