Challenge #21: Date Reformatting

I always enjoy going through these challenges as they provide a chance to utilize tools that are less common for me to have a need for.

Used slightly different Tools but overall same approach as provided Solution 🙂

 

- Used Multi-Row Formula to get month Numbers based on date Length (loved solution provided nested formula to achieve this with simple the formula tool!)

- Used Formula to convert Int values to 3 letter Month 

- Used Multi-Field Formula to Populate current year based on if it was first month

- Used Multi-Row Field to Populate correct year across all Rows

- Select to Rename and drop unnecessary Fields

Felt like this was one of my uglier solutions. I still need to get more proficient with the multi row formula tool.
