This was educational! It was also a challenge to convert regex from the dedicated tool for use in the Formula tool since they are not equivalent - in the Regex_Replace formula I missing an option to disable "Copy unmatched text to to output" (default in Regex_Replace formula), like in the dedicated Regex tool which required modified expressions for a single tool solution.

I found this pretty challenging, but I really needed a RegEx refresher so it was a really good exercise for me.  Dates are challenging and I tend to deal with them more than I care to admit.

Thanks!

A bit clunky as I am newer to RegEx.  Trying to get more comfortable with it after years of denying its existence.  I got it to work for this particular dataset, but not sure it would be that great for an everchanging datasource.
