Pretty straightforward one...

Solution.PNG

- Stripped out left-most digit and converted to either 19 or 20
  -- Concatenated 19 or 20 with next two digits (using right and left functions) to get year
- Used DateTimeParse to convert Year-Month-Date to DateTime (after extracting month and date digits

Probably would be simpler to follow (and debug) if I did this in multiple steps

I do this in Excel a lot....
