How to Convert MMM-YY string to Date Format using M Query in Power BI

How to use M-Query to Convert MMM-YY string to Date Format in Power Query

Example :

Suppose we have sample "Customers" table as follows..

Now from the above DateString column we will generate the Custom Column "Date" using the below M Query in Power Query :

Date.FromText("01/" & Text.Start([DateString],3) & "/20" & Text.End([DateString],2))

Notes :

The M Query Text.Start function is equivalent to the LEFT Function in Power BI, and the M Query Text.End function is equivalent to the RIGHT Function in Power BI.

Result :

Finally change the DataType of  "Date" column to Date format from the Transform Tab of the Power Query.

Notes :
#date([#'Transaction_Year']',[#'Transaction_Month'],[#'Transaction_Day']) returns the Date.
Date.MonthName(#date) returns the Month Name.
Number.ToText([#'Transactions_Number') converts number to the text format.
