Hi there 
I’m getting a Date value from a Google sheet and eventually trying to push into a Monday board.
The date is coming (probably) as text in a DD-MMM-YYYY Format e.g. 16-Nov-2023 and I believe Monday needs YYYY/MM/DD or something similar (I used DD-MM-YYYY in the screenshot below).
The problem is that the formatDate Function doesn’t recognized it as a date so i’m getting an Error

Any clues on how to format DD-MMM-YYYY text into a date?
Many thanks ! 
You need to use parseDate
first with the current date format, then formatDate
into the date format you want.
formatDate( parseDate(date_string; current_format); new_format )
See: Date Format Tokens

Wow Sam, amazing as always, it worked !
ParseDate to let Make know what is the format, then formatDate to convert to another date format.

If you want to learn more about Make, you can read up in the Help Center. I also recommend doing the tutorials in the Make Academy, and learn advanced skills like how to make custom apps to any API in the Make Partner Training Portal - both have certificates for successful completion.
