I am a very beginner, just starting to learn how to play with data in Alteryx 😅.

Here's my solution - I struggled a bit for the date parsing, but got my first practice done!

I like your solution better.  It's more elegant.

 

PS - my company won't let me attach a workflow.  I'm hoping this screenshot showing I actually did it works.

Hi!.

This is my first challenge, so I'm sorry if the question is too basic. I don't understand where the error is when using the tool to pass from text to date.
Thank you!

Attached a partial solution. Thank you

When date is in "2021-Jun-19" then we should use the custom and Use the %y-%b-%d. I have attached updated file.
