Hi,
I had column of dates mm/ dd / yyy , but they were acutally text so used text to columns to convert to dates,
fine, but for the order I would have liked the year first, but despite selecting 'date' ' ydm' from drop down I always got the the original
order but now as dates? any suggestions ?

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
If you're using TTC, that means you are doing this in Excel, not PQ or Power BI, yes?
