Formatting dates from text or objects

Ever imported data just to have a non readable date stamp?

Get-date can take your text that is a date and turn it into something more readable.

Take “15-FEB-20” for example. It’s not really a wildly used format.

Pipe that to get-date like so:

Then you can format your date to remove time and what not.

If you have imported the data you can fix the entry using the select statement.

$data |select name,@{name=’Birthday’;e={$_.birthday | get-date -format MM-dd-yyyy}}
