Please see pictured my progress from my first attempt (above) to my last attempt (below).
Instead of using the formula tool to change the Poem_Read_Date to a "Date" datatype column with the DateTimeParse function, I opted for the DateTime tool. Also, to remove the double quotes I used the string function StripQuotes.
This helped me reduce the number of complex formulas used but at the cost of a larger file size.
I tried to cut down my first attempt as I noticed my use of tools was a little unorganized.
I've used Regex again to parse the data. When I first started learning Alteryx my teacher gave us this exercise when teaching about the basics of data parsing.
