Hi @praneshsapmm Can you share a sample of the data? Typically you'd want to transpose the data and do the date conversion once, then crosstab back.

Hi @praneshsapmm ,

 

see attachement here with a dummy Substring function, hope it helps! DateTimeParse function works great too and I did a small mock up for you.
