I have a column of date strings like "Thu, Aug 1, 2020".
I want to convert them to a real date column.


Suppose the date is in B2, then:

=DATE(RIGHT(TRIM(B2);4);(FIND(TRIM(MID(B2;FIND(",";B2)+1;4));"JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSep")-1)/3+1;1)

You only need to:

1) Extend the monthnames ("JanFeb...") for the rest of the year

2) Fill in a formula for the day in the month (currently set to 1
=DATE(RIGHT(TRIM(A449),4),(FIND(TRIM(MID(A449,FIND(",",A449)+1,4)),"JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec")-1)/3+1,TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A449,FIND(" ",A449)+5,2),",","")))
