Column has both date and General word format date (44350). when I import the data in Alteryx my data gets converted in String, the numbers are now appearing as text and when I change the format of date column using date parse tool, text results in blank value.

 

Attached is the sample excel file

Hope this helps : )

If  you are using the datetime building block you will have to specify the format of the incoming string.

 

You could also use  DateTimeFormat function in the formula building block. => DateTime Functions | Alteryx Help
