Power Query Basic 11 - Convert Date Text into Date

In Power Query Basic 03, I introduced basic data types in Power Query. In this video, you will see a deeper demo to a commonly used data type - Date.

Indeed it is very common to deal with date stored as text in different formats. It could be challenging to convert those text dates into real dates that Excel recognizes and work with for further analysis. This task is, unbelievably, super easy in Power Query. You will see how in this short video.

You may download a sample file from my blogpost to follow along.

I hope you like this video. If you do, please give a thumb up, comment, and subscribe my channel. 😉
