Remove zeroes in Month, dd, yyyy format

Hello all, I saw a post on how to remove zeros from a date with a REGEX_Replace formula, but I can't figure out how to get it working with a Month, dd, yyyy format. See attached image for the format.

 

For example. I need December 03, 2020 to be formatted as December 3, 2020.

 

Thanks!

@Jay9204 Use the formula:  REGEX_Replace([Field1], "(\w)\s0?(\d+),(\d+)", "$1 $2,$3")

Hello,

 

This doesn't seem to be working. Your text input does not have a space after the comma (ex. December 3,2020). There must be a space after the comma (ex. December 3, 2020). I cannot figure out how to reconfigure the formula, is it possible you can send an update?

@Jay9204 Try this: REGEX_Replace([Field1], "(\w)\s0?(\d+),\s(\d+)", "$1 $2, $3")
