Challenge #4: Date Parsing

Parsing the field was difficult however, completed using just three tools. Regex, Formula and Select. Took some to time to get the correct output.

This was a fun challenge! I used regex to parse the two date variations from the strings, and then DateTime tools to parse the date formats and a formula to coalesce.

REGEX: (\d{1,2}(-|\s)\w{1,4}(,|\s|-){1,2}\d{2,4})|(\w{1,4}(-|\s)\d{1,2}(,|\s|-){1,2}\d{2,4})
