Challenge #21: Date Reformatting

MMoore-2021
6 - Meteoroid

As per usual, figured out a workable solution before consulting the solution provided.  Obviously need to spend some time with the multi-row tool and the building logical expressions.  Thanks for the challenge!

Since data structure is in order (J to D) and no repetition between Month, I used RecordID and later Mod (RecordID, 12) so that I can create logics between modified RecordID (1-11,0) to month (Jan - Nov, Dec).

Hello,

 

My submission is attached with two different ways of the same answer. 

 

Spoiler
If this was a situation where the final value is needed in more of a date format, then I think the first path with the Date Time tool should be explored further. However, the formula tool trying out a switch fx is a quicker solution. Somehow I was expecting to use more date formulas in this exercise and making it more complicated than it needed to be.
