I can't figure out how to standardize the date format in the Sample Use Case training exercise. I've tried pulling the date apart and rebuilding it in the new format but ran into additional issues due to the syntax of the orig date not being recognized.

I then tried to use another data file I loaded with the month shortname in one column and the corresponding numerical value in the other. I was not able to get the tables to link properly. Please provide assistance.

I figured it out on my own by separating each field into a separate column and loading another data file that had Jan - Dec and 01 - 12 in column A and just 01 -12 in column B. I then used a join into that table to return the numeric value for the month. After concatenating the 3 columns together with the appropriate delimiter, my formatting was perfect.
