I recently learned that I could use REGEX in formulas (yes, I'm still new at this 🙂), and this challenge was a GREAT opportunity to implement that knowledge!

I tried a suggested solution: DateTimeParse(switch(Left([date],1),'','0','19','1','20')+Right([date],6),'%Y%m%d'); but since the string length is set to "7," the 8th character gets truncated when "19" or "20" are added to the left of the[date] string.  However, if the result is created in a [New Date] column, the string length of the new column be changed to "10" in the Formula tool. 👍
