Trim and convert string into Date

NAl

How can I trim the date on the left hand side and convert this into a date value?

Input Example: 18 May 2016 - 17 Mar 2017

Output example: 2016-05-18

(using the yyyy-MM-dd  format)

I've tried using trimLeft() function but the Mapper Snap doesn't recognise this expression (see screenshot attached).

Hello @NAl,

Could you try with the following expression, and let me know if it works for you?

Date.parse($Dates.split("-")[0].trim(),'dd MMM yyyy')

Regards,

Aleksandar.
