Hey @joshikalyani, here's one way you could handle this:

As some of your dates are already in the correct format, we just need to convert those that aren't. The field is currently in string format so we can check for problem entries by checking whether ToDate() produces a null. If so, that means the record needs to be made into a Date which is when we bring in DateTimeParse() for the conversion.
