Challenge #34: Date-Time Formatting

If it's ugly and it works, it is still ugly.

In Version 11.0 the Date-Time Parse tool was upgraded, making the need to use more than one tool obsolete for this challenge.  However, in the spirit of the weekly challenge, I did it both ways.

Of course now possible with the regular date time tool, but I tried some Regex on it. Still a one tool solution :D

My solution is similar to many others!

I'm not sure why this required a macro. I'm guessing that the Date/Time Parse tool wasn't available at the time this challenge was posted?

"Advanced"? Didn't realise you could use regex as a delimiter in the text to columns tool. That will come in handy for sure!

Much like @Natasha, I was confused by the fact that the instructions told us to create a macro. I saw an easy solution only using a Formula tool. Anyway, if I were required to make a macro, I would simply have an input, use the same Formula tool, and then output the result.
