Here's the formula used to parse that format:

 

DateTimeParse([Input],"%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p")

 

I recommend keeping this page bookmarked:

Hi @mszpot89

 

 

Sorry I had not seen Charlie's reply.

I'd add the DateTimeFormat function to remove the time.

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Field1], "%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p"),"%Y-%m-%d")

 

Cheers,

@Thableaus - I modified @CharlieS solution also to skip time.

 

DateTimeParse([Date of query receive],"%A, %B %d, %Y")
