Hi @Emiller ! One thing I notice right away about the format string you're trying to use is that "month" works with a full month name rather than an abbreviation. That is, you have "JAN" in your source data, but the "month" format string would work with "January". 

 

I suspect you'll have more luck with something like "DDmonRR". I recommend consulting the documentation on date casts if you need additional help.
